Welcome to  the website of the Dynamic Structures Lab. Our home is the Department of Civil Engineering at Stony Brook University. Our expertise is in experimental and computational aspects of solid and structural mechanics. The group’s name reflects: (1) our interest in structures that are designed to be “dynamic” and are capable of morphing shape, re-configuring their properties or adapting to the environment; and (2) our passion for truly-dynamic phenomena such as vibrations and mechanical waves.

Check out the Research tab or Paolo’s Google Scholar page for more information on our work, and don’t hesitate to contact us for additional information or if you are interested in what we do.

Announcements/Openings

We are always looking for motivated and creative individuals to join our team as PhD students, Visiting scholars, Master’s thesis/project students, Undergraduate researchers, and even Summer High School interns. Please email Paolo for additional information.

At this moment, we have several PhD openings on a variety of topics. Please refer to the following flyers for additional details: Link to Flyer #1, Link to Flyer #2

Undergraduate and MS project students can also apply to participate to our Printing Structures VIP.
