Why Join Us?
Our research is at the forefront of mechanics:
Our students develop cutting edge experimental characterization and modeling capabilities in mechanics of soft materials. Their research contributes to tackling problems that have significant and lasting implications on wide ranging areas, from human health and diseases to aerospace and robotics. Our research environment is highly collaborative.
We are part of an elite research university:
LSU is the Flagship University of the State of Louisiana. Among the elite top 1% of research universities in the USA, LSU is one of only 30 universities nationwide holding land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant status. The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) at LSU is the largest department in the College of Engineering and hosts several key national research centers, including (1) The Louisiana Materials Design Alliance (LAMDA), (2) The NSF Industry/University Collaborative Research (I/UCRC) Center for Innovation in Structural Integrity Assurance (CISIA), (3) The P41 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for BioModular Multi-scale Systems for Precision Medicine as a partner to the University of Kansas, (4) the NSF CREST Center for Next Generation Multifunctional Composites as a partner to Southern University, and (5) The National Center for Advanced Manufacturing (NCAM), a partnership between the State of Louisiana and NASA. Notably, the computational research efforts at the MIE department benefit from the formidable high-performance computing capability and relevant scientific research ecosystem of the Center for Computation and Technology (CCT).
We care for our students:
By joining our laboratory, you join a vibrant LSU graduate community of nearly 7,000 students investing in their professional development at the highest level. LSU offers some of the highest stipends available in the Southern USA to its graduate students, which is the result of a commitment to a growth of over 35% over prior levels and marks a major investment in scholarship.
