About this position

Start Date: Between 1 August 2027 and 1 July 2028 Application deadline: 23.59, 4 January 2027 (UK time) Robots, software and digital memory can be reprogrammed after they are built. Materials, by contrast, have mechanical behaviour that is fixed at manufacture. This PhD will investigate whether that behaviour can be reprogrammed after fabrication. You will study architected entangled materials: networks of curved filaments whose stiffness and toughness arise from how the filaments interweave and contact one another. Fabrics and ropes are familiar examples. In these networks, small changes in c
