Zainab Patel, a grad student in Lucas Meza Mechanical Engineering at UW lab, received honorable mention for her submission - Nano wrinkled head - to the 2021 #NNCI image contest! Congratulations! You can view all of the winners and submissions here: nnci.net/plenty-beauty-…

We are thrilled to welcome 8 new faculty members! With research ranging from development of bio-inspired sensors to engineering quantum systems, these faculty are poised to help develop solutions to grand challenges in info processing, energy & health. nano.uw.edu/nanoes-welcome…

🚨Deadline for abstracts fast-approaching (1/31/22) for our USNC/TAM 2022 symposium on the ‘Mechanics of Architected Materials’. Please consider submitting—we look forward to a fruitful discussion of recent progress in our field! usnctam2022.org/MS_316

Nature does open access

After 1.5 years of the pandemic, I wonder how university-level teaching after covid will be (and what it won’t be). Here are 11 points I realized while teaching large undergraduate classes during the pandemic. A thread (my first!). 🧵 #onlinelearning #AcademicTwitter

Our group has an opening for a postdoctoral position available immediately, working on the extreme mechanics of metamaterials (experimental and computational perspectives). Please see post for more info, and please share & RT!

Abstract deadline coming up -- submit your abstracts by May 16 for SES 2022 at Texas A&M! na.eventscloud.com/eSites/ses2022…

Explore the world of nanoarchitected materials at our online talk with guest speaker Lucas Meza, taking place this 26 May. Find out more via this link bit.ly/3ly8GxZ #mechanicalengineering #learnsomethingnew

If at #USNCTAM2022 , I will deliver 2 talks on our work on architected materials under extreme conditions [today] and mech. of self-architected materials [Thurs.]. Our 9-session symposium MS316 on Architected Materials also kicks off today! Looking forward to connecting!

Just wrapped up my summer program on nanoengineered materials. Got to introduce an amazing group of students to a bunch of cool nano stuff. Thanks to my collaborators Marco Salviato and Vipin Kumar and to U.S. National Science Foundation CMMI for funding this.

Our department's search for a new tenure track Assistant Professor has begun! Come join our team and find out what an amazing place it is for inter-disciplinary research!! apply.interfolio.com/115364 UW Bioengineering UW Medicine UW Engineering

Looking forward to October! Join us in our symposium on “Advances on the Mechanics of Architected Materials” at Society of Engineering Science SES 2023—great opportunity to discuss theory, experiments, and computational advances. 🔗: attendesource.com/profile/web/in…

Inspired by nature, UW researchers — led by ME Assistant Professor Lucas Meza — are investigating how #nanomaterials and #nanostructure makes materials more resistant to breaking. Learn more: me.washington.edu/news/article/2… Materials Science & Engineering at UW UW Engineering

Yay!! Our take on plastics "grown from" algae made it to the Cover! We were aiming for an abstract illustration symbolizing a balanced equilibrium between our natural and our built environment.. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Can vibrational ‘fingerprints’ lead to high-throughput characterization of metamaterials? In our work, out in nature today, we present a non-contact framework to rapidly characterize microscale metamaterials in the dynamic regime! 🔗: nature.com/articles/s4158… MIT MechE Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
