Description:

The Applied Mechanics Executive Committee (AMD-EC) is pleased to announce the 2023 IMECE student travel award competition, which is sponsored by the Haythornthwaite Foundation*.

With funding from the Haythornthwaite Foundation, the Executive Committee (EC) of the Applied Mechanics Division (AMD) of ASME is pleased to announce the establishment of the Haythornthwaite Research Initiation Grant Program, targeting university faculty engaged in research in theoretical and applied mechanics that are at the beginning of their academic careers. Applicants must hold a tenure‐track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at a US university on October 1, 2023, and must not be more than 5 years beyond receipt of their doctoral degree at the time

In the past 3 years, Brown Engineering faculty led by Professor Yuri Bazilevs with co-directors Professors Kenny Breuer and Pradeep Guduru have won more than $15 million in awards for research in Mechanics of Undersea Science and Engineering (MUSE). This was made possible by partnering with Naval researchers and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, R.I.

This center may bring great opportunities for doing doctoral and postdoctoral research at Brown. I look forward to interacting with new colleagues and following the progress of MUSE.
