It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.

Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) is very pleased to announce the appointments of the following individuals as Special EML Editors:

Zheng Jia, Zhejiang University (zheng.jia [at] zju.edu.cn): Special EML Editor for EML Webinars – Young Researchers Forum 

Mingchao Liu, University of Birmingham (m.liu.2 [at] bham.ac.uk): Special EML Editor for Social Media Engagement 

Prof. Huajian Gao becomes Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS).

Prof Gao said: “Being elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society is a huge honour for me – it’s a scientist’s dream. The society is one of the oldest scholarly societies in the world, with legendary scientists among its members like Isaac Newton.”

It gives me great pleasure to announce the outcome of the 2022 competition for the Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty. This award is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. The selection committee consisted of: K. Ravi-chandar (UT Austin), Huajian Gao (Brown University), G.

Ryan C. Hurley of the Johns Hopkins University will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.

The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to congratulate Professor Cunjiang Yu, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Associate Professor of Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics and Department of Biomedical Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, as the recipient of the 2023 Thomas J. R. Hughes Young Investigator Award.

The Executive Committee of the ASME Applied Mechanics Division is pleased to congratulate Professor Jian Cao, Cardiss Collins Professor of Mechanical Engineering and (by courtesy) Civil and Environmental Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University, as the recipient of the 2023 Ted Belytschko Applied Mechanics Award.
