The NSF Center for the Mechanical Control of Chemistry (CMCC) as opened applications for their Research Experience for Undergrads (REU) program. Students will receive: 1) a stipend of $5,000; 2) housing; 3) support for travel to/from the REU site and to attend a national STEM meeting; and 4) a $500 debit card to be used […]
Dr. Takaaki Sato, who joined our group in 2018, is headed off to Japan. We wish him the best in his future endeavors! From left to right: Parker LaMascus, Alejandro Boscoboinik, Romulo Martins, Gokan Sensoy, Daniel Delghandi, Takaaki Sato, Pranjal Nautiyal, Brandon McClimon, Rob Carpick, Cangyu Qu, Li Yuan, Danny Sánchez, Zekun Li.
The STLE Philadelphia chapter awarded individual scholarships to undergraduate research assistant, Daniel Delghandi, and doctoral student, Parker LaMascus, in recognition of their research in tribology.
PhD student, Parker LaMascus, was featured in the Arcadia Exhibitions Instagram. Parker took the image of sand grains using an interferometric microscope and calculated the average major axis of the grains.
PhD Candidate, Lu Fang, will investigate grease-lubricated contact operating under the elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime at ExxonMobil Reseach & Engineering.
Danny Sánchez joins the Carpick group with support from the the ASEE Engineering Postdoctoral Fellowship (eFellows) and the Penn Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship.
The Nanotechnology Recognition Award “recognizes members of NSTD for outstanding scientific and technical contributions in the science of fabrication, characterization, and fundamental research employing nanometer-scale structures, scanning probe microscopy, technology transfer involving nanometer-scale structures, and/or the promotion and dissemination of knowledge and development in these areas.” Read more about the award in Penn Engineering Today.
A warm welcome to Mr. Romulo Martins, Mr. Zekun Li, Dr. Cangyu Qu, and Dr. Danny Sánchez!
In collaboration with Prof. Ju Li from MIT, this work utilizes a multiscale discrete element method to simulate the deformation of amorphous materials and provides insight into the mechanisms of yielding and hardening phenomena observed in experiments. Read more about it here!
