About Picture

Four IMPACT Lab members from left to right: Steve, Esfandiar, Joel and Dennis.

They presented "Statistical Modeling of Actin Crosslinking in Networks and Bundles" at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society in Long Beach (CA) on February 6, 2008.

IMPACT Lab

The IMPACT Lab is a research laboratory within the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin dedicated to better understanding the mechanics and design of materials, processing, structures and systems.

Our current research focuses on the mechanics and behavior of polymer composites, notably polymer nanocomposites (e.g. nano-filled polymers, active nanostructures) and eukaryotic cells' cytoskeleton (e.g. myosin-activated actin cytoskeleton, cytoskeletal dynamics).
