@zhigangsuo @ProfJohnARogers Thanks, Zhigang!

@ProfJohnARogers @HanqingJiang Congratulations @HanqingJiang

Delighted to celebrate Prof. @HanqingJiang, recipient of the 2025 Yonggang Huang Engineering Science Medal from the Society for Engineering Science, as a keynote speaker in a symposium in his honor today – very much apologize for the need to do my presentation remotely from a hotel room in London! I had an opportunity not only to congratulate Hanqing, but also to thank him for (1) serving as one of the first graduate students involved in a collaboration between Prof. Yonggang Huang’s group and my own, culminating in papers on stretchable silicon (Science and PNAS in 2006 and 2007) and kickstarting a collaboration between Yonggang and my groups that now spans more than 20 years and more than 400 co-authored papers, (2) sending one of his best PhD students – @cunjiangyuUIUC (now on the faculty at UIUC) – to me as a postdoctoral fellow, one of the most productive to move through my group and (3) collaborating with us on a recent advanced haptic actuator technology, published late last year in Nature. My talk focused on our work in 3D frameworks as functional interfaces to organoids – electronics and microfluidics! So happy for Hanqing that he won this very well deserved medal named in honor of his PhD advisor – what a special circumstance! Congratulations (and thank you (x3)!) again!

@ProfJohnARogers Thank you so much, John! I am truly honored! I genuinely value the guidance, support, and inspiration I have received from you throughout my career. Thanks!

Conference website 2024ses.com. Call for mini-symposium opens on 11/1/2023.

Announcing the 2024 Society of Engineering Science Annual Technical Meeting! SES2024 be hosted by Westlake University in China, in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, from August 20 to 23, 2024. More details to follow from the Conference Organizing Committee soon!

Glad to share our latest work published in Nature Communications. This work proposes a simple bottom-up rule that can spontaneously generate complex shape assembly behaviors for robot swarms. @RoderichGross @Westlake_Uni Article link: nature.com/articles/s4146…

It's exciting that my textbook "Mathematical Foundations of Reinforcement Learning" has received 1,000+ stars on GitHub🌟 My online lecture videos have more than 500,000 views over the internet. GitHub link: github.com/MathFoundation…

Prof. @HanqingJiang and his research group at Westlake University develop a first-person, human-triggered haptics that allows users to actively experience mechanical touching with various stiffness perceptions from positive to negative ranges in virtual environments, achieved by the curved #origami.

We published a paper (nature.com/articles/s4156…) about stress relaxation and Li dendrite mitigation in @NatureEnergyJnl. Happy to see this work by Ju Li that directly observed Li metal undergoing Coble diffusional creep (nature.com/articles/s4158…), which supports our hypothesis.
