Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the session on 3D Printed Soft Materials at the ASME 2016 IMECE to be held from November 11 to November 17, 2016 in Phoenix, AZ.
Deadline for abstract submission is July 15th.
Prof. Lee’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers University has an opening for a PhD student for Spring/Fall 2015 with interests in mechanics of soft materials, 3D printing, and micro-/nano-engineering.
From venation of leaves to the blood and lymph vessels and tracheae of insects, 3D filamentous branching networks are a common pattern in all higher organisms. These busy “highways” supply the tissue with nutrition and oxygen, expel waste and heat, as well as conduct immune reactions and other signal pathways. These microvascular networks are also essential for effective response of external stimuli in some sensitive plants, such as Venus flytrap and Mimosa pudica.
