One Ph.D. position will be available in the Applied Mechanics of Materials group of Mechanical Engineering Department at

Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. The position will start in the coming Fall, 2014.

The research program will focus on mechanics of soft composite materials and structures as well as

their novel applications in micro/nano-fabrication, anti-biofilm, energy absorption/harvesting, etc. In

particular, it will focus on harnessing buckling instabilities of hybrid soft and hard materials and

Reversible deformation of metal nanowires accommodating large strains by twinning-detwinning

This afternoon, I had an extremely pleasant Google hangout with Daniel Suo, and Professors Zhigang Suo and Teng Li . Our main focus was on brainstorming ideas on how to improve the user experience on iMechanica. After an hour or so our conversation drifted towards educational topics including novel ways of incorporating technology in STEM education.
