Size-dependent finite-deformation crystal plasticity
We have a new, slightly different perspective on the basis of size-dependent, finite-deformation crystal plasticity. If you are interested and have time to check it out, I’ll be happy to discuss it:
friction and persson's theory for fractal roughness
dear colleagues
I recommend reading this recent paper
Chadha, V., Randolph, A. B., Reifler, K., Jacobs, T. D., & Beschorner, K. E. (2025). Validation of a Multiscale Hysteresis Mechanics Model in Predicting Oily Shoe-Floor Friction Across Surfaces With Varying Finishes. Journal of Tribology, 147(9).
Active twisting for adaptive droplet collection
Many xeric plant leaves exhibit bending and twisting morphology, which may contribute to their important biological and physical functions adapted to drought and desert conditions. Revealing the relationships between various morphologies and functionalities can inspire device designs for meeting increasingly stringent environmental requirements.
Postdoc Position in Topological Mechanics
I am looking to recruit a highly motivated an independent postdoctoral researcher to study, using theoretical and computational techniques, topics related to the dynamics of metamaterials, with specific interest in topological insulators. The position is available immediately, available for at least 1.5 years.
