(July 14, 2023) Profs. Kim and Elbana at the University of Illinois. They were really happy (looked exhausted in the photo though) after confirming the strong ground truth for their collaborations! They engaged in a long discussion on polymer networks, the modulation of these networks through a spatiotemporally resolved force, and their modeling. Amazing team!
