MASLab is celebrating that our team member Jennifer Xue has been selected as a recipient of the Undergraduate Research Fellowship @OUR_UTAustin 🥳🥳🥳!

Please see our new paper entitled 'Architected Lattices with a Topological Transition' published in Advanced Engineering Materials. The paper will be a part of a special issue on additive manufacturing-enabled cellular materials. doi.org/10.1002/adem.2…

I am very excited that we are offering this new course in Spring 2024. Additive Manufacturing of Infrastructure Materials!! If you are a Purdue Eng. Student, check this out!!! #3dprinting #infrastructure #materials #concrete #additivemanufacturing @PurdueCE Purdue Engineering

So cute 😀

Abstract submission is open (until Jan 15) to the World Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM2024). Happening on 21-26 July 2024 in Vancouver, aka one of the prettiest places! We are organizing a minisymposium on Architected materials and structures (0605). See link 👇

Fun night with our UT Austin CAEE students at the Gingerbread House competition. Well done to all six teams, so proud of you! Big shot out to the members of AEI at UT Austin, UT ASCE and @caee Seismic Design,for organizing this holiday social event! Great way to wrap up the fall semester ‘23!

Are you interested in doing a #PhD on Robotic Metamaterials? If so, please reach out to apply for the scholarship in my group at the University of Birmingham! Check for more details: imechanica.org/node/27070 UoB Engineering College of Engineering & Physical Sciences

How do you achieve adaptive stiffness in structures in an energy-efficient way? In our latest work with Kai Jun Chen in Smart Materials and Structures, we propose reversible lamination of load-carrying layers using gecko-inspired dry adhesives. doi.org/10.1088/1361-6…

Please consider submitting relevant research to our SI of jasa on Active and Tunable Acoustic Metamaterials. Full-length jasa articles or JASA Express Letters are welcome. Deadline is 31 September 2024. The call for papers can be found here: pubs.aip.org/asa/jasa/pages…

Field trip! 😃

Out today Nature Communications. Achieving shape shifting from one to many under simple actuation&control is challenging. We report a #transformer-like hierarchical #origami metastructure. It can self-transform into 1000 configurations with only 3 actuation inputs. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

On Sept. 13 (this coming Friday) at 10:00AM (EST), I will give a hybrid in-person and online seminar on “Physically Intelligent Soft Machines” in my home department at NC State. Welcome to join us in EB3 RM2207 or live online at ncsu.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/… mae.ncsu.edu/event/mae-semi…

Thanks to the Princeton Alumni Weekly for highlighting our new course! paw.princeton.edu/article/new-pr… It's been wonderful to guide a bright, interdisciplinary class of students through examining the 'plastics problem' together from many angles!

Welcome to join our next Mechanical Engineering seminar at UoB Engineering College of Engineering & Physical Sciences on Nov 13th, 14:00-15:30 (UK Time) in Y3-G29. Prof. Dominic Vella (Maths Observatory) from Oxford Mathematics will present "Some Wrinkles in Gauss' Pizza Theorem". Zoom link: bham-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/83316618629

Dear Friends and Colleagues, I am excited to invite you to partecipate in the special session I am organizing at the 15th IWSHM, which will take place September 9-11, 2025 at Stanford University, CA, USA. I look forward to seeing you there! #SHM #NDE linkedin.com/posts/salvator…

Celebrated the New Year with my students! 🎉🥟 Those who found the lucky dumplings won the LEGO Lucky Knots they crafted together—fun, luck, and joy all in one! 🍀✨

New in The Innovation: a Cell Press partner journal! A novel deployable microstent for the treatment of glaucoma. Zhang et al. developed a novel deployable microstent for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery applications, leveraging deployable structure concepts and biocompatible nitinol to mechanically
