SES 2022

The 2023 Annual Technical Meeting of SES at Texas A&M was the first in-person SES conference since COVID. It was wonderful to see old friends and meet new ones.   Brandon Zimmerman  presented his work on new reactive hydrogel model with initial applications to DNA hydrogels. Bibek Datta  presented computational study of hydrogel soft robot. He […]

Postdoctoral Fellow Positions in 3D Printing of Soft Materials, Computational Design, and Mechanical Metamaterials

The Guest (ce.jhu.edu/topopt), Mueller (muellerlab.com), and Nguyen (nguyenlab.wse.jhu.edu) research groups invite applications for multiple Postdoctoral Fellow positions in Digital Fabrication, Mechanical Metamaterials, and Topology Optimization. The Fellows will be based in one group and have the opportunity to collaborate within an interdisciplinary and highly visible project spanning Johns Hopkins University, a National Lab, and an […]

ISER 2022

2022 Glaucoma Fast Track and Concepts and Breakthroughs in Glaucoma Symposium.  It was great to go to a conference with members of the lab again. Cameron Czerpak and Arina Korneva both received a travel award from BrightFocus to present posters on their work.  Dr. Nguyen gave an overview on Biomechanics of ONH Injury in Glaucoma [...]

2022 PhD Hooding

The PhD Hooding ceremony marks the transition of a PhD candidate to a PhD graduate.  The advisor has the honor of placing the hood on the PhD student to signify that they have successfully completed the PhD program.  Congratulations Dr. Zheliang Wang and Dr. Yik Tung Tracy Ling for your remarkable achievement.  

Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Biomechanics

The Nguyen Lab (nguyenlab.wse.jhu.edu) and the Glaucoma Center of Excellence invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the area of experimental biomechanics to investigate the mechanisms of tissue remodeling and axonal injury in the optic nerve head of mouse models of glaucoma. The optic nerve head in mouse models consists of a mesh-like network of […]

Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biomechanics

The Nguyen Lab (nguyenlab.wse.jhu.edu) invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the area of computational biomechanics to investigate the mechanisms of remodeling of the optic nerve head.   The postdoctoral scholar will be involved in a funded project to study the relationship between the structure and mechanical properties of the tissues of the optic nerve head and […]

Postdoctoral Position in Computational Design of Architected Materials

The Nguyen Lab (nguyenlab.wse.jhu.edu) invite applications for a postdoctoral position in computational mechanics of stimuli-responsive, architected materials  The postdoctoral scholar will be involved in a funded project to design light-weight architected materials and structures that can reconfigure its shape in response to external stimuli. The project is highly interdisciplinary and involves collaborations with team members […]

Dr. Zheliang Wang

Congratulations to Dr. Zheliang Wang on the successful of his dissertation. The Toughness and Residual Stresses of Polymers Produced by Fused Filament Fabrication Fused filament fabrication (FFF), also known as fused deposition modeling (FDM), is one of the most widely‐used additive manufacturing methods. In FFF, the feedstock material, usually a glassy polymer filament, is fed into […]
