Vicky Nguyen is named Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club

Vicky Nguyen, of the Johns Hopkins University, is named Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club.  Vicky has a broad vision for mechanics, and has made contributions to diverse topics.  in 2008, she received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.  In 2013, she received the Sia Nemat-Nasser Early Career Award and the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty.

The mission of the Journal Club is to facilitate discussion at the frontier of mechanics and its applications. 

To enable the discussion, each month an Editor selects a Discussion Leader, who in turn posts a Theme.  The Theme stays at the top of the front page of iMechanica for the entire month.  See Recent and Past Themes, and the Operating Notes for the Journal Club.

Vicky will share the responsibility of editing the Journal Club with Xuanhe Zhao.  Feel free to contact either of them if you have an idea for a theme, or if you would like to volunteer a colleague.
