We’re a bit behind on posting, so here’s a bunch of MMD lab updates in one.

Congratulations to Shreya Gowda on another award! This time she’s won Aviation Week’s 20 Twenties – a worldwide competition for top aerospace bound students.

We have two new collaborative papers out: “Microstructural evolution of polyurea under hydrostatic pressure” in Polymer with the Fors group, contributed to by PhD student Steven Yang, and “Digital light processing of liquid crystal elastomers for self-sensing artificial muscles” in Science Advances with the Shepherd group, contributed to by PhD Student Joy Zhang.

Finally, check out this month’s imechanica blog by Prof Silberstein and PhD student Max Tepermeister on electromechanics of polyelectrolytes.
