The aim of this workshop series, now at its sixth edition, is to offer
to young researchers an opportunity to present the main ideas of their
PhD theses, and a forum to discuss recent scientific developments in
the most active areas in the mechanics of materials and structures.
The workshop will comprise a mini-course on Cell Mechanics given by
prof. R. McMeeking (University of California at Santa Barbara) and
five in-depth presentations of recent PhD theses.
Following the tradition of this workshop series, ample time will be
devoted to discussion and critical examination of research results, in
order to advance the state of current scientific knowledge thorough an
informal exchange of ideas.
The workshop isorganized by Antonio De Simone (SISSA) and Maurizio Angelillo (Università di Salerno).
