Kitty presented a poster on her senior thesis work in collaboration with Professor Paulino in CEE. Her thesis work used liquid crystal elastomers to thermally actuate an origami tube, along with theoretical simulations of the mechanics of the origami design. Congrats to Kitty for finishing a fantastic thesis!

The Davidson Lab is very proud to have two NSFGRFP recipients this year! Kirstin Bode received the award for their project using polyglyoxylates as a model system to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of depolymerization in self-immolative polymers. Emily Ostermann received the award for her project on the effect of network heterogeneity on…

Congratulations to our undergraduate researcher Callie Zheng! Callie was awarded an award for having the best poster within the entire DPOLY division at APS! The poster looks at the effect of small molecule additives on liquid crystal elastomer phase transition behavior.
