Thrilled to share that I've been granted the prestigious ERC Starting Grant (€1.5 million). This grant will support our team in advancing our fundamental understanding of liquid-solid impact phenomena and creating life-like resilient materials. qmul.ac.uk/media/news/202… @QMUL

Call for Abstract - UKACM2025 conference (London), deadline 14th December 2024. We now invite authors to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations in the following mini-symposia/general sessions, organised by leading researchers in the field. sites.google.com/view/ukacm2025…

My group has a new postdoc opening position in Experimental Mechanics. We welcome candidates with expertise in operating dynamic impact test facilities, including familiarity with gas gun, Hopkinson bar tests, or liquid droplet impact experiments. jobs.ac.uk/job/DJT645/pos…

The call for MS for the next UKACM conference is still open! Please consider submitting a MS. We are particularly interested in MS in fluid related topics. sites.google.com/view/ukacm2025… @UKFluidsNetwork @SIAM_UKIE @ASME_UK @ECCOMASofficial @IACM_Community @TanLab2 @MartinezPanedaE

If you are interested in organising a Mini-symposium in the next UKACM conference, to be held at Queen Mary University of London, 23-25 April 2025, do not miss this opportunity. The deadline for proposing a MS has been extended to 14th September! sites.google.com/view/ukacm2025…

@CTLimLab Warmest congratulations, Prof. Lim!

Honored to be finally admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Society. A unique part of the ceremony is signing the 362-year-old Charter Book, alongside renowned scientists like Newton, Darwin, and Churchill. This is thanks to my incredible team of students, postdocs and collaborators.

@EmlWebinar @Mingchao_Liu @YouTube @zhigangsuo @ProfJohnARogers @ToLiTeng @ZhengJia_ZJU @JingdaT @Elsevier_Eng @CarinaArasaCid Amazing and excellent talk! I really enjoyed it. Many congrats, Mingchao!

If you missed our fantastic EML webinar by @Mingchao_Liu, don't worry! The recorded version is now available on @YouTube for your convenience: youtube.com/watch?v=aZe6Ly… @zhigangsuo @ProfJohnARogers @ToLiTeng @ZhengJia_ZJU @JingdaT @Elsevier_Eng @CarinaArasaCid

I want to thank my colleagues, group members, mentors, collaborators, and family for their continuing support and for helping me reach this point.

Honoured to receive the ESCM Young Researcher Award at ECCM21! This award celebrates young European researchers (<35 years old) in composite materials. Grateful for the recognition and excited to give a plenary talk at this prestigious conference! eccm21.org/plenary-speake…

Many congrats to Yu Yuan on passing her PhD with minor corrections today! Her thesis, titled "The Finite Integration Method: Algorithm and its Applications in Solid Mechanics," is a great achievement. Many credits go to Prof. Wen, from whom I took over the role of 1st supervisor.

Computational modelling of composite materials can help us understand composite failure and facilitate the development of resilient composite materials. We recently reviewed the literature and suggested some future directions. #s0175" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The next UKACM conference will take place in @QMUL 23-25 April 2025. Make a note in your agenda! There will be some new initiatives, so keep an eye on our website ukacm.org The conference will be chaired by @TanLab2 and @MartinezPanedaE

It was a lovely science weekend! We learned the plants and enjoyed taking microscopic photos of plants, flowers, insects and toys, etc. It was a really nice way to unveil a new "micro-world" for our kids. Thanks Jennifer for organising these fun activities and the photos.

Many thanks @StefanSzynisz for your invitation. I look forward to the talk at Durham University on 14th March. My talk will be about "Bridging Mechanics and Machine Learning in Composite Design and Optimisation". I'm also excited about visiting the beautiful city of Durham.

Today, we were delighted to host Dr. @Mingchao_Liu from the University of Birmingham for an engaging and impressive talk on "Mechanics of Robotic Metamaterials: from morphing to locomotion".

One week left (18th Feb) to apply for 3 PDRAs and 3 PhDs: Postdoc in Experimental Mechanics of Liquid-solid Impact: jobs.ac.uk/job/DFL207/pos… Postdoc in Computational Mechanics: jobs.ac.uk/job/DFL052/pos… Postdoc in Materials Science: jobs.ac.uk/job/DFL306/pos… Please share and RT.

@chenna1985 Many thanks Chenna~ You are one of the experts we are collaborating with!😀

Excellent postdoc opportunity at @TanLab2!

One more postdoc opening for the ERC/UKRI project (LSIMPACT): "PDRA in Self-healing Materials". The candidate should have experience in self-healing materials, polymer synthesis, and material characterisation. jobs.ac.uk/job/DFL306/pos…

Another postdoc opening for the ERC/UKRI project (LSIMPACT): "PDRA in Experimental Mechanics of Liquid-solid Impact", the candidate should possess hands-on experience in dynamic impact test facilities, such as gas gun or Hopkinson bar tests. jobs.ac.uk/job/DFL207/pos…

Join our team! We are seeking a talented postdoc to join the existing ERC/UKRI project "LSIMPACT". You will dive into the world of liquid-solid impact damage, develop multi-physics computational models and collaborate with experts. jobs.ac.uk/job/DFL052/pos…
