It is our great pleasure to welcome Dr. Yu Wu, Ph.D in Engineering Mechanics from Zhejiang University, joining our group in October 2008. Yu is working with Dr. Xiaopeng Zhao and me on nano-scale mechanics analysis of ivy nanoparticle secreting mechanism. The nano-scale bio-mechanics model is extendable to understand mussel and barnacle adhesive mechanisms. His research interest is in micro/nano-scale bio-mechanics and bio-mimetics in general.
