The M3Lab represented at the 2025 Society of Engineering Sciences Annual meeting with three presentations and two posters! Jamshid Fariborz won a “Best Impacts Student Poster Award”! Congrats Jamshid!

Jaychan Pyo gave a great talk titled “Microstructure evolution of thermochemi-
cal composites and its internal stress effect on effective heat conductivity”

Jamshid Fariborz gave the talk “Numerical Framework for Understanding and
Predicting Microstructural Effects on Environment-Induced Cracking of Al Alloys”

Finally, postdoctoral fellow Srivatsa Bhat Kaudur presented “Coupled Thermo-Chemo-Mechanical Modeling of Reactive Solids for Energy Storage Applications”

Prof. Di Leo has been awarded promotion to the rank of Associate Professor with tenure in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech!

Donald’s poster on electro-chemo-mechanics of Li-filament growth won best poster award in the “Computational Fluid, Solids and Structural Mechanics” track at the US National Congress on Computational Mechanics!

Donald Bistri successfully defended his Ph.D. Congratulations Donald!

Our JMPS paper on continuum modeling of Li-metal filament growth in all-solid-state batteries has been published. This work presents a novel continuum electro-chemo-mechanics gradient theory which coupled multiple phase-field paramaters to account for concurrent Li-metal filament growth and fracture of the underlying solid host.

In collaboration with Prof. Rimoli, our joint patent on articulated joing mechanisms for cable-based and tensegrity structures has been issued! Check it out here.

Our patent detailing the design of a cable-driven four-bar link leg mechanism has been issued! Check it out here.

Prof. Di Leo was elected for the National Academy of Engineering US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. He presented on the M3Lab’s broad research in chemo-mechanics modeling for energy storage!

Benjamin León and the M3Lab have published a paper in the Journal of Dynamical Systems, Measurements, and Control detailing our experimental investigation of performing dynamic landing on a 3DOF motion platform using robotic landing gear.
