5.6 Intelligent Structures for Robotics
The Mechanics of Robotic Metamaterials Group at the department of Mechanical Engineering in the University of Birmingham, UK, led by Dr. Mingchao Liu, is recruiting one PhD student for the fall of 2024. The group is also open to joint PhD students and visiting scholars. Additionally, they offer support to outstanding postdoctoral candidates in applying for fellowships.
