Congratulations to Dr. Huebner for receiving the Early Career Teaching Award! This award is given to outstanding young faculty members who have made significant contributions to teaching at the U. mech.utah.edu/huebner-receiv…

@ElsevierConnect Our paper has been in review in one of your journals for just over a year(!) and still has not received a first decision. I’ve been reaching out to the chief editor since July to try and get a response. Never had this happen before. #help sciencedirect.com/journal/compos…

This vision has been in the works for a long time, but it has taken years to realize because 1) predicting crack growth in 3D at microstructure scale is a hard problem, and 2) data to sufficiently train an ML model is hard to come by. Congrats, Vignesh! 🥳 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kTUpAQEJ59lR

Recently at ICAM 2024 hosted by @ASTMAMCOE, PhD student Claire Ticknor won the prestigious student competition with her presentation on modeling hardening and damage behavior in 3D-printed metal matrix composites (MMCs). Congrats, Claire!🎉 @UtahMech #3Dprinting #simulation

@suhas_prameela I agree!

My new home state is so beautiful!

@KnutsonKassidy Amazing work, Dr. Knutson!

Beyond stoked and honored to be here today!

So excited to be at @Caltech to give a seminar tomorrow on our group’s latest work and to meet with so many impressive faculty members, postdocs, and students! Extremely grateful for this opportunity.

Join our computational solid mechanics team @UtahMech! utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/170625 #AcademicChatter #solidmechanics

We teamed with @VCUENGR researchers to implement a CNN-informed genetic algorithm to design new CNT bundle microstructures that meet mechanical targets. CNN-GA found designs that exceed fitness values of the training set. #AI #materials Funded by @NASA sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
