Had a great time at CMBBE with Kristin Myers. Presented Tracy Ling’s work on computational modeling of strains in the axonal compartments of the mouse optic nerve head.

New Orleans! This was the first in-person ARVO since COVID, and the first time meeting Arina as a colleague from Virginia Tech. Cameron and I gave posters on our OCT strain measurements in glaucoma patients and Arina gave a talk on measuring deformation in the mouse astrocytic lamina.

So I went to Australia to give a talk, reconnect with colleagues, and meet some animals.

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 […]

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 [...]

Garden party to celebrate the end of the academic year and Zheliang’s and Tracy’s graduation.  Lots of food, lots of laughter. I was wonderful to get together again.

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.  

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 […]

Congratulations! to Zheliang Wang and Bibekananda Datta for winning awards for their poster presentations at the Society of Engineering Science (SES) Virtual Month Annual Conference.  The top four posters were chosen by a panel of judges for each theme. Soft Matter Bibekananda Datta, Aishwarya Pantula, David Gracias, Thao D. (Vicky) Nguyen. Johns Hopkins University. "A [...]
