Excited to see our collaborative work featured by @oxengsci ! ox.ac.uk/news/2025-08-2…👁️✨

Excited to share our latest work: “High-fidelity detection and quantification of acoustic startle response in freely moving mice in an open field”, just published in Journal of Neuroscience Methods. 🔗 Check out the article at lnkd.in/gP-eHFaK. Congratulations Shiva!!

Our recent development on deployable microstent for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).@oxengsci @ut_caee

New in @The_InnovationJ! 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 separate ocular tissues in the SCS.

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! 🍀✨

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…

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 @SchoolofEng_UoB @eps_unibham on Nov 13th, 14:00-15:30 (UK Time) in Y3-G29. Prof. Dominic Vella (@MathObservatory) from @OxUniMaths will present "Some Wrinkles in Gauss' Pizza Theorem". Zoom link: bham-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/83316618629

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…

@ssalamon75 @JavadM0hammadi @CockrellSchool Congratulations!

@JavadM0hammadi @CockrellSchool Congratulations Javad!

Grateful to receive the best poster award at the INFORMS security conference 2024. Shout out to my research group, especially Meiyi and Nora for their contributions to our poster titled “Towards Reliable AI-based Energy System Optimizers” @CockrellSchool

Out today @NatureComms. 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…

Field trip! 😃

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

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…

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 @SchoolofEng_UoB @eps_unibham

@blairajohnson @ut_caee @CWEuTexas So cool!

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

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 👇

So cute 😀
