I will proudly present a keynote talk in Nonlinear Elasticity: Modelling of multi-physics and applications (Euromech Colloquium 630) in the UK on Mar 26. You can register to attend it online for free now icms.org.uk/NonlinearElast…

Thank colleagues of the Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Michigan Mechanical Engineering for uploading my seminar on “tanglemer” on YouTube. youtu.be/45U-Q-CZ3nI?si…

Happy graduation. Congratulations to the newly minted PhD, Yu, and bachelors, Kenneth and Benny, from my group! You will all have a very bright future!

We have a postdoc opening in cardiac biomechanics modeling at UCLA, co-mentored by Prof Ashley Stein-Merlob Ashley Stein-Merlob, MD , Alan Garfinkel Alan Garfinkel and myself. Please check this website for more details: msm.seas.ucla.edu/opening

We are leading this month's iMechanica Journal Club: Anomalous Mechanics of Liquid Crystal Elastomers. You are welcome to read the post and contribute to the discussion by leaving a comment on the iMechanica page. imechanica.org/node/27443

I am extremely honored to receive the 2025 Society of Engineering Huajian Gao Young Investigator Medal! I greatly appreciate all the support from my nominator, letter writers, collaborators, mentors and students! mae.ucla.edu/professor-lihu…

Really enjoy the meeting! Thanks NSF and NCI for the funding support!

Thanks Zhigang Suo for posting this! It's great to have so many role models for me to follow in the group, Nanshu Lu @ UT-Austin Xuanhe Zhao and many more.

Congratulations! Well deserved!

Please see our new paper entitled 'A modified semi-soft model of liquid crystal elastomers: Application to elastic and viscoelastic responses' published in a special issue in honor of Prof. Zhigang Suo's 60th birthday in JMPS. Happy birthday Zhigang Suo！ doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps…

Had a wonderful APS March meeting American Physical Society with dear colleagues, students and friends Xuanhe Zhao Ruobing Bai Shengqiang Cai

A statement from Sally Kornbluth, President of MIT

Congratulations to my students who have got their PhD, MS and BS this year. Best wishes for a fulfilling future!

Still #1, and still redefining legendary. In US News' national universities rankings — which emphasize academic reputation, student outcomes, university resources, and social mobility — UCLA is the nation's #1 public university. The rankings are published in September. #1UCLA
