FDU "is really special in its ability to create an environment that allows students to work side-by-side with professors on projects," says @CStubbsEngineer 🔌⚙️ #FDUMagazine: brnw.ch/21wIUDq #myfdu #mechanicalengineering #engineering #mechanicalengineeringtechnology

FDU Mechanical Engineers have made it to the Final Four in the national MCAA competition! Just landed in Phoenix AZ to compete for 1st place tomorrow. Go Knights! @FDUWhatsNew @FDU_President

A great ceremony for some amazing grads! Congratulations!!! @FDUWhatsNew #fdugrad

Can't make it to Commencement day? We're bringing Commencement to you! Livestream available here: fal.cn/3oIlT #myfdu #fairleighdickinsonuniversity #fdugrad #fdu #classof2022 #graduation #commencement

Very excited for today's EXPO! Come stop by and check out all the amazing projects from seniors in engineering and computer science. 4PM in the Rutherford Room of the SUB. #Engineering #computerscience #design @FDUWhatsNew

Very excited for the first annual FDU Senior Design Expo! This coming Monday, graduating seniors from seven different engineering and computer science majors will present their amazing projects. Come by and check it out! #engineering #computerscience #design @FDUWhatsNew

How can we structurally analyze plant cell wall microstructure? Can we begin to develop an ideotype for cell size and shape for stalk lodging? Check out our new preprint authored by @AndrewSayad, a graduating senior at @FDUWhatsNew! doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

Super excited for the Uncertainty Quantification Symposium at SES this year. Finally, a place to discuss that pesky problem of not being able to manufacture 100 identical plants for material testing! A big thanks to Dr. Doug Cook for pulling this together.

Don't forget ! The deadline for early bird registration and abstract submission for oral presentation for the 2022 Plant Biomechanics conference is the 30th of April.

How does a lizard shed its tail? And how can we leverage what we learn to design new adhesives? I co-authored a paper that investigates these very questions, and it was just published as the cover article of Science! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@FDUWhatsNew There will be a Gildart Haase School of Computer Sciences and Engineering student organization fair on the Metro Campus tomorrow at noon. Free pizza! Come check it out!

A big congrats to @LindZeamays for her work with @ErinSparksPhD on maize brace roots. I just got a Google Scholar notification that her dissertation has been posted on ProQuest! Looking forward to what I'm sure will be a great read. proquest.com/openview/e7dcb…

How does root system architecture respond to environmental stress? Really proud to have contributed to this review in @PlantPhys, with Rumyana Karlova, @that_damian and @TesterinkC academic.oup.com/plphys/advance…

Can you predict if a corn stalk is lodging resistant just by pinching it? Find out in our new paper, published in @HardwareX1! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Does the leaf sheath play a significant structural role in wheat? In this paper, we investigate how it contributes to lodging resistance, and if it's heritable: doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2…

A big thanks to everyone at Fairleigh Dickinson University who has made my first week as an Assistant Professor a little easier. So far, so good!

UPDATE: Membrane Imaging in the Plant Endomembrane System #Endomembrane #PlantBiology #PlantSci buff.ly/2JLOnOa

When crops in the field are pushed over in the wind, they resist bending not as individual plants by themselves, but as a system of intertwined plants working together. In this new paper published this week, we investigate this phenomenon! doi.org/10.1115/1.4049…

I am very excited to announce that we just published a new method of mapping heterogeneous material properties onto finite element models of plant tissue! If you are looking for detailed tissue-level stress analyses, I'd love to collaborate! doi.org/10.1016/j.bios…
