Congratulations Dr. Zhang! 🎓🍾

The graduate students kicked off today the celebrations for Judy's retirement with a pizza party in the physics library!

After more than 40 years in the Department, Judy Mallery retired yesterday. We want to thank her for everything she did and wish her all the best for her future endeavors. Thank you!

Super proud and excited that my grad student Patrick M Kiel received the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP award! Congratulations to him! Patrick is also co-advised by Prannoy Suraneni Ian Enochs NOAA Diego Lirman Rescue a Reef University of Miami Rosenstiel School University of Miami

The Department of Physics was well represented last week at 2023 Provost Award Ceremony, with Profs. Prakash (Discussion-Based Learning and Collaborative Teaching), Cappelluti (Early Career), and Mezincescu (Lifetime Achievement) as finalists for the awards.

What better way to end the academic year than celebrating our amazing graduate students with a pizza party? 😀 Congratulations again to Moslem for the 2023 Physics Department Graduate Student Award!

(1/3) New preprint alert from our lab University of Miami 😀 “Non-bilaterians as Model Systems for Tissue Mechanics” arxiv.org/abs/2306.01935 We review recent discoveries in rapid tissue remodeling phenomena in three Non-bilaterians: Trichoplax adhaerens, Hydra vulgaris, & Aurelia aurita

Congratulations to current student Joseph Sterling for his work with the James Webb Space Telescope! news.miami.edu/as/stories/202…

We are organizing a special event on ‘Exploring Art, Marine Biology, and Engineering to address climate challenges’ Lowe Art Museum University of Miami Please join us on 4/17: events.miami.edu/event/lowe-con… Work by: Jenna Efrein Jack Delli-Santi Prannoy Suraneni Patrick M Kiel Rescue a Reef X-Reefs

Pls RT: our paper got published eLife - the journal 😀🥳!! My student Shubham Sinha and I contributed to this collab project with R. Asai, T. Mikawa UC San Francisco @prakashlab - we studied relationships b/w ‘polonaise movements’ & PS morphogenesis during chick development: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

🥳🍾 We got our Christmas present -- our paper was accepted in PNAS!! PNASNews 😀🎄🎅 (Preprint link below) Congrats to my grad student Shubham Sinha University of Miami Department of Physics and collaborators 淺井理恵子（Rieko Asai） and Prof. Takashi Mikawa UC San Francisco 🎉🎆😀

🚨📢 New paper alert! Our work showing that bilateral cellular flows display asymmetry prior to left–right organizer formation in amniote gastrulation is now published in PNAS PNASNews 🥳😃 Congrats Shubham Sinha 淺井理恵子（Rieko Asai） T. Mikawa UC San Francisco pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

What do chickens have to do with left-right asymmetry in the body? Research at #UMiami adds to our knowledge. Read it here: bit.ly/40KHYX0 UM Arts&Sciences

Thrilled to announce that our work on the laterality of cellular flow in the early gastrulating chick embryo has been published in PNAS! Congrats Shubham Sinha, PrakashLab @ Miami, T. Mikawa (UCSF)! Here is the link for the article. Please check it out! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Please RT!! The Physics Department is organizing "PHYSICS FUN!!" -- our Annual Public Outreach event on Saturday, March 1, 2025 !! 😀 Kids and adults will have hands-on activities to play and have fun with physics!! 🔭 🚀 🪀 🔫 🪞 💡 😀 Please rsvp here: events.miami.edu/event/physicsf…

Our Department Astronomers are helping to organize this nice public “Star Party” event tomorrow (Saturday) at the Everglades NP: nps.gov/ever/planyourv… It should be great fun!! go to Everglades for a nice Saturday Star Party!! 😀 🔭 🐊 University of Miami

CONGRATULATIONS to my first PhD student Bikram Shrestha for successfully defending his thesis!! 🥳 😃 This marks a major milestone for Bikram, me, and our lab!! University of Miami University of Miami Department of Physics

Congrats to Prof. Kun Wang's paper out in #JACS ACS Publications reporting the creation of the world's most electrically conductive molecule that show near-perfect electrical conductance for low biases, over record-breaking distances! Paper link: pubs.acs.org/toc/jacsat/0/0
