Congrats to our Preston Innovation Lab members starting tenure-track faculty positions this year! Anoop Rajappan at Tulane University, Zhen Liu at UT Dallas, and Faye Yap at University of Hawaii at Manoa - we took a photo in our uni t-shirts before our summer lab social. Looking forward to following their careers!

Sheet-Based Fluidic Diodes for Embedded Fluidic Circuitry in Soft Devices (Daniel J Preston and co-workers) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ai…

Great job by Faye Yap defending her PhD thesis in Rice University Mechanical Engineering! Her work applied reaction kinetics to understand virus inactivation, elastomer curing, and manufacturing of soft robots, and she will start her own lab as a faculty member at University of Hawaii at Manoa in January.
