The Nano & Micromechanics Laboratory is part of the Mechanics of Solids and Structures Group in the Division of Engineering at Brown University. It was established in 1989 as the Micromechanics Laboratory, and started nanomechanics research in 1990. Research and education carried out in this laboratory are associated with the experimental, computational and theoretical study of nanomechnics and micromechanics of materials. Fabrication and characterization of nano-structures are also carried out with the facilities of national and international nanotechnology networks such as NNIN, KIST, etc. |

05/24/09 Brian Burke got his Ph.D degree, and Hsiao-Mei Wu and Alexander Pinkham got their Master degrees on this day. Congratulations!
05/08/09 Dr. HS Shin of KIST has been elected to the U.S. National Academy of Science as a foreign member. Congratulations! Full list of new members.
04/07/09 Dr. Sang-Pil Kim joined the group as a research postdoctoral fellow. (See here)
03/27/09 Dr. Jin Woo Yi joined the group as a research postdoctoral fellow. (See here)
03/25/09 The nano and micromechanics laboratory has begun to participate in three-party collaborative research on developing nano and microstructures for energy and environment materials. The colaboration is made among the Computational Science Center at Korea Institute of Science and Technology, the Nano and Micromechanics Laboratory at Brown University and the Computational Nanomaterials Laboratory at Seoul National University, forming the Advanced Hybrid Computational Science Laboratory at KIST. The research is based on hybridization of advanced multi-sclae experiment and high performance computing.
03/24/09 Prof. Kyung-Suk Kim gave a seminar on ¡°Cross-scale engineering of nano and microstructures; Supercomputing simulations and Scale-bridging experiments¡± at Seoul National University.
02/02/09 Welcome new grad students. (See here) & Congratulations for Brian Burke¡¯s promotion to Principal Engineer in Stanley and Bostitch.
12/01/08 A paper titled ¡°Multi-asperity contact: A comparison between discrete dislocation and crystal plasticity predictions¡° by L. Nicola, A. F. Bower, K.-S. Kim, A. Needleman and E. Van der Giessen has been published in Philosophical Magazine.
