  Most materials are microscopically structured. The specific geometry and topology naturally introduce separations in spatial, temporal and energetic scales, which fundamentally dictate the characterisitic response to environmental stimuli. The vast ways in tuning the geometry and topology of structured materials constitute vast choices in designing functions. This presents great opportunities in proposing novel materials with novel properties. We are interested in probing the roles of geometry and topology on the mechanical behaviors of natural and artificial matter, via a combinational effort of experiments, simulations, and simple theoretical considerations.     Mechanics Building 4-316
