Lihua Jin and Xiaoyan Li receive the 2018 Extreme Mechanics Letters Young Investigator Award

Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2018 Extreme Mechanics Letters Young Investigator Award, Professor Lihua Jin of University of California at Los Angeles, USA, and Professor Xiaoyan Li of Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Lihua Jin was selected based on her paper ‘Geometric role in designing pneumatically actuated pattern-transforming metamaterials’, published in Extreme Mechanics Letters Volume 23 (2018), pp. 55 – 65.

Xiaoyan Li was selected based on his paper ‘Atomistic simulations of superplasticity and amorphization of nanocrystalline anatase TiO2’, published in Extreme Mechanics Letters Volume 22 (2018), pp. 131 – 137.  Xiaoyan Li is currently serving as the Editor of iMechanica Journal Club (2018-2019).

The awards will be presented at the MRS Annual Meeting on November 26, 2018 at the Materials Today Reception.

Extreme Mechanics Letters publishes rapid communication of research that highlight the role of mechanics in multi-disciplinary areas across materials science, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and engineering; with an emphasis on the impact, depth and originality of new concepts, methods and observations at the forefront of applied sciences.
