Looking forward to the 2025 SES Meeting in Atlanta, Oct. 12-15, 2025! Please contribute to our symp. "6.1 Mechanics of Architected Materials" before 5/15 - we'll discuss key opportunities+advancements in architected material research. Exp.+Comp.+Theory welcome! @carlosmportela.bsky.social

Grateful to be part of the 2025 NAS Kavli Fellows cohort representing MIT MechE —a week of discussions w/ early career leaders across disciplines! Enjoyed sunny SoCal, enthralled w/ ‘diverse’, ‘engaging’, and ‘insightful’ scientific discourse, especially in the current scientific context.

Starting 2025 w/ a collaborative effort w/ @sid-kumar.bsky.social & team using experimental data sets, physics-enhanced ML, and computational models to predict, understand, and inversely design spinodal metamaterials for large deformation and energy absorption. doi.org/10.1016/j.em...
