6 mechanics of liquid crystals

My undergraduate and master major is engineer mechanics. I have took several courses about this field, like theory of elasticity and mechanics of materials. But my major during master degree is plant bio-mechanics, especially the role of water surface tension and water transport. So I deeply feel that I need to learn solid mechanics again. That is why I choose this course.

I work in Prof. Weitz's group, and may focus on the experimental and theoretical research on soft matters or micro-fluid (cross field). But I think the knowledge and idea of solid mechanics is important no matter what we do in the futher.
