Our upcoming seminar will be delivered by Prof. Ritu Raman (MIT):

"Tissue engineering biological actuators for biohybrid robots"

Date: Thursday, 24 September 2026

The inaugural JMPS Young Investigator Award was announced on 1 September 2026.

The 2026 JMPS Young Investigator Award is awarded to:

Lu Lu, Sophie Leanza, Luyuan Ning and Ruike Renee Zhao

for their paper:

“2D-to-3D transformation of ring origami via snap-folding instabilities,”
Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, Volume 206, Part B, 2026, 106404.

We are hiring: Assistant or Associate Professor, Tenure Track or Tenured, Materials Science and Engineering.  Review of applicants will begin on October 31, 2026, and will continue until the position is filled. Please share with your network.

"I am pleased to share, Dr. Hsiao Wei Lee's recent work, “A unified mechanics theory framework for fully reversed high cycle fatigue of FCC aluminum based on two-scale microplasticity entropy production,” has been published online in the  International Journal of Fatigue.

Applications are open for one post-doctoral research fellowship at IDMEC, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, within the project DEEPFRAC (Deep fracture), FCT 2024.14907.PEX, supervised by Pedro Areias.
Reference of the call: BI 30.PL750.2026.IDMEC.

I am recruiting PhD students in reprogrammable matter at Imperial College London: https://aimlab.uk/join-us/vacancies/.  The positions are fully funded and start Autumn of 2027. 

In addition, I am hosting externally funded PhD scholarships and Postdoc fellowships through a variety of mechanisms, some of which are listed here https://aimlab.uk/join-us/.

“A Physics-Informed Neural Networks framework for simulating natural convection of Cu–water micropolar nanofluid in a porous enclosure with internal heat generation”

The paper has been published in the European Journal of Mechanics / B Fluids.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions. 

For the first position, we are primarily seeking candidates working at the frontiers of intelligent systems and physical AI but welcome all candidates whose work complements and extends our core strengths in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, biomechanics and mechanobiology, dynamics and control, energy and sustainability, materials, robotics, solid mechanics, and thermofluids.  More information about this position can be found here:
