We have two PhD openings in the Mechanics and Materials Lab at ETH Zurich. Through theory, simulations, and experiments, we will study knotted/woven and straw-based architected materials with new opportunities for controlling nonlinear material behavior:

Ok it is official! The movie is coming out! I hope my story inspires many people to follow their dreams. Watch the trailer for A Million Miles Away now and stream the movie on Prime Video on September 15!
It takes more than a dream to reach the stars. #AMillionMilesAway is out September 15.
Se necesita más que un sueño para alcanzar las estrellas. #AMillionMilesAway estará disponible el 15 de septiembre.

Science and research are fundamental building blocks of Canada that require sustained attention, nurture and support. Our world class researchers and students wait, while peer countries increase funding. Time to invest in the granting councils and graduate scholarships.

Tanya Raja is a fifth-year @manu_ubc #student with multiple co-op experiences. “I liked the program because it offered wide-ranging career options and was a good mix of materials and mechanical #engineering within a manufacturing context.”

After a long time, it has finally arrived!................
I am happy to announce that I have been promoted to Associate professor (with tenure) at UBC (Mechanical Engineering). I could not have achieved this promotion without the hard work of all my students and postdocs (1/2)

Excited to officially introduce the Pleobot - a multi-link 3D printed mechanism to study metachronal swimming. By reproducing the swimming kinematics of krill, we discovered a leading‐edge suction effect contributing to lift during forward swimming!

What would also be amazing is that @TIPS_SPIIE worked on an urgently-needed raise of the graduate student and postdoctoral stipends. This will not only help them have appropriate wages but also make Canada competitive globally. We should do *both* and not one or the other. 2/2
