  Viscoelastic Behavior and Energy Absorption of Main-chain Liquid Crystal Elastomers-Based Architected Materials Beijun Shen Energy absorption is essential in designing materials and structures for impact mitigation, vibration isolation, and energydissipation. Architected materials leveraging geometric instabilities, such as snap-through buckling, are effective at reversibly trapping energy but often lack strain rate sensitivity. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), […]

Decorating Christmas ornaments, lasagnas, and lots of fun.

It is always a treat to hood your Ph. D. student.  Congratulations Cameron!  

Garden brunch party. Good food and good company,

It was great catching up with Zheliang Wang presenting at future faculty poster session at the symposium.  Good luck Zheliang,

Kelly Clingo presented her research at ARVO, her first conference as a PhD student. She presented her new machine learning method for automated segmentation of the ON tissues.
