Ruobing Bai of the Northeastern University will be the next Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. The Journal Club was initiated in January 2007, soon after the launch of iMechanica. It has quickly grown into a flagship feature of iMechanica, epitomizing the vibrant topics and dynamic researchers at the frontier of mechanics.
We are excited to have Ruobing as the newest addition to a succession of excellent Editors. A recipient of the Extreme Mechanics Letters (EML) Young Investigator Award (2022), Ruobing combines theory and experiment in areas including solid mechanics, soft active materials, fracture and toughening of materials, adhesion, and sustainable materials, for applications such as soft robotics, human-machine interfaces, and human health. We look forward to his leadership, as well as another great year of the iMechanica Journal Club.
