Feel deeply honored and truly grateful for being invited by Prof. Takamasa Sakai @Gel_Tokyo to give an invited talk on at the 19th Pacific Polymer Conference. This is my first time to visit Japan. Great to know polymer people in Japan.

We had a great one-day NSF-funded workshop this Friday, engaging more than 50 participants from more than 10 universities and industries. We hope this workshop can be an initiative to foster connections and collaborations between universities and industries.

RT @XianyangB: Our paper is online! 😀.We developed a tough hydrogel that achieves high modulus, high fatigue threshold, and low hysteresis….

Join us for our upcoming University-Industry Workshop “High-Throughput Soft Material Development” on May 30th. We expect to have ~ 50 participants from more than 10 Universities and Industrials. You may also attend the event via zoom ID: 670 705 8733

We report a mechano-diffusion mechanism that harnesses mechanical deformation to control particle diffusion in hydrogels with a significantly enlarged tuning ratio and a highly expanded tuning freedom. Thanks the support from NSF Biosensing Program and NSF CAREER Program.

I am thrived to share our work titled "Mechano-Diffusion of Particles in Stretchable Hydrogels" is published in Soft Matter. Hearty congrats to Chuwei Ye, Congjie Wei, Jiabin Liu, and Tsz Hung Wong. Paper Link:

We feel grateful for NSF support. Great work with @RuobingB on this collaborative project. We use experiment and theory to uncover the role of topological defects on mechanics of end-linked polymer networks with strain induced crystallization. This is 4th NSF grant in my group.

Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are welcome to give lightening talks. 5 Travel awards will be selected for student participants to cover their travel expenses. Registration Link: More information can be found:

Thanks for the support from NSF, we are thrilled to share our 1st University-Industry Workshop on May 30 at MSU. We are fortunate to secure keynote speakers including @ProfGraceGu at UC Berkley, Abdon Pena-Francesch at UMich, @HyunwooYuk at SanaHeal, @Dohgyu_Hwang at Dow Chemical

We construct a phase diagram in the plot of torsion angle and aspect ratio to delineate the mode of instability and the monotonicity of stress-stretch curve in confined elastic layers.

The key idea of this paper is to investigate the role of torsion on tuning the mode of instabilities , and controls the monotonicity of the stress-stretch relationship in confined elastic layers.

I feel fortunate to work with Prof. Cohen since my PhD at MIT. Tal introduces this problem to me when we met at GRC adhesion in 2023. We decided to leverage our combined experimental and theoretical efforts to tackle this problem since then.

Excited to share our joint work with @CohenMechGroup at JMPS, entitled "Torsion-mediated instabilities in confined elastic layers". Congrats to Tara and my PhD student Chuwei. Link:
