OME

Former lab member Dr. Kartik Srinivasan receives a School of Mechanical Engineering Outstanding Mechanical Engineer Award.

Welcome for Fall 2024

In fall we welcome the following new lab members: Tanner Ballance - postdoctoral researcher; Vasilis Karamitros - Lilian Gilbreth Postdoctoral Fellow, Charles MacWilliams - graduate student.

Outreach

Our lab hosted teams of grandparents and grandchildren in the 2024 Purdue University Grant Parent University and the class “No Bones About It”. We had lots of fun breaking bone and exploring how bone mineral and collagen make up this fascinating biological tissue.

The mission of the Microstructure Testing and Analysis Laboratory is to advance the knowledge on the mechanics of engineering materials and biological materials under consideration of micro-scale effects and processes. Our research is concerned with the relationships between materials architecture, constitutive description, and the overall function of architectured and microstructured materials.

We also collaborate with many industry partners, as part of the Indiana Consortium on Simulation-Based Engineering of Materials and Structures (ICSEMS).

Thomas is part of the Solid Mechanics area in the School of Mechanical Engineering. Learn more about other Solid Mechanics faculty throughout Purdue University.
