Thrilled to share that I've been granted the prestigious ERC Starting Grant (€1.5 million). This grant will support our team in advancing our fundamental understanding of liquid-solid impact phenomena and creating life-like resilient materials. https://t.co/2XRZZyWq84 @QMUL

[UKACM2025 Conference @ukacm2025]

Call for Abstract - UKACM2025 conference (London), deadline 14th December 2024. We now invite authors to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations in the following mini-symposia/general sessions, organised by leading researchers in the field. https://t.co/GioXQeqhl0

@CTLimLab Warmest congratulations, Prof. Lim!

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

@EmlWebinar @Mingchao_Liu @YouTube @zhigangsuo @ProfJohnARogers @ToLiTeng @ZhengJia_ZJU @JingdaT @Elsevier_Eng @CarinaArasaCid Amazing and excellent talk! I really enjoyed it. Many congrats, Mingchao!

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

I want to thank my colleagues, group members, mentors, collaborators, and family for their continuing support and for helping me reach this point.

Many congrats to Yu Yuan on passing her PhD with minor corrections today! Her thesis, titled "The Finite Integration Method: Algorithm and its Applications in Solid Mechanics," is a great achievement. Many credits go to Prof. Wen, from whom I took over the role of 1st supervisor.

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

Computational modelling of composite materials can help us understand composite failure and facilitate the development of resilient composite materials. We recently reviewed the literature and suggested some future directions. https://t.co/DZJIXjRCjl

[UKACM @UK_ACM]

The next UKACM conference will take place in @QMUL 23-25 April 2025. Make a note in your agenda!

There will be some new initiatives, so keep an eye on our website https://t.co/1VtRabdnyA

The conference will be chaired by @TanLab2 and @MartinezPanedaE

It was a lovely science weekend! We learned the plants and enjoyed taking microscopic photos of plants, flowers, insects and toys, etc. It was a really nice way to unveil a new "micro-world" for our kids. Thanks Jennifer for organising these fun activities and the photos.

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

Many thanks @StefanSzynisz for your invitation. I look forward to the talk at Durham University on 14th March. My talk will be about "Bridging Mechanics and Machine Learning in Composite Design and Optimisation". I'm also excited about visiting the beautiful city of Durham.

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

Today, we were delighted to host Dr. @Mingchao_Liu from the University of Birmingham for an engaging and impressive talk on "Mechanics of Robotic Metamaterials: from morphing to locomotion".

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

One week left (18th Feb) to apply for 3 PDRAs and 3 PhDs:

Please share and RT.

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

@chenna1985 Many thanks Chenna~ You are one of the experts we are collaborating with!😀

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

One more postdoc opening for the ERC/UKRI project (LSIMPACT): "PDRA in Self-healing Materials". The candidate should have experience in self-healing materials, polymer synthesis, and material characterisation.
https://t.co/jsEJNvYLRg

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

Another postdoc opening for the ERC/UKRI project (LSIMPACT): "PDRA in Experimental Mechanics of Liquid-solid Impact", the candidate should possess hands-on experience in dynamic impact test facilities, such as gas gun or Hopkinson bar tests.
https://t.co/mCHVYwIa5R

[Wei Tan @TanLab2]

Join our team! We are seeking a talented postdoc to join the existing ERC/UKRI project "LSIMPACT". You will dive into the world of liquid-solid impact damage, develop multi-physics computational models and collaborate with experts. https://t.co/jNwRYNjF2W
