I have been
working in the Solid Mechanics Laoratory snce 2003
supervised by Prof. Jeffrey W. Kysar. Everything is new:
Dr. Kysar is a young professor, the Lab history is not long
and even the Engineering School is the youngest school at
Columbia. However, all of these facts make our research
topic pioneering. The lab is focusing on understanding
plasticity and fracture theories of metals and mechanical
properties of nano-scaled materials.
The size of the
lab is small: Four to five members (1 post-doc and 3~4
graduate students). Our research topics also has many
connections with other departments, such as Material
Science, Applied Mathematics and Physics and Civil
Engineering.
