DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ottman A. Tertuliano\nAMA Family Assistant Professor\nMe
 chanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics\nUniversity of Pennsylvania\nBi
 ogenic composite materials such as bone exhibit a combination of propertie
 s exceeding that of their constituents\, a feat generally credited to thei
 r hierarchal structure\, down to the nanoscale.\nBone is complex tissue wi
 th nanoscale mineralized collagen fibrils as mechanical building blocks.\n
 Because of the inherent nanometer scale\, we have a limited knowledge of t
 ime-dependent and small scale bone response to physiological loading. Duri
 ng cycling loading\, injury\, and repair\,bone tissue is exposed to large 
 strains and dynamic loads representing a drastic departure from the quasi-
 static and macroscale conditions for the which our current knowledge of bo
 ne fracture is based. Here\, we will employ in situ electron and xray nano
 mechanical experiments to tackle: how does the nanostructure of bone respo
 nd to cycling physiological loading? and what mechanisms dictate dynamic f
 racture in bone?\n\nBio:\nOttman earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering a
 t Columbia University\, and a Ph.D in Materials Science from Caltech. His 
 graduate work focused on developing experimental techniques small scale\, 
 site-specific microstructural characterization\, deformation and fracture 
 behavior of bone. Prior to starting at Penn\, Ottman was the inaugural Ste
 phen Timoshenko Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in Mechanical Engineerin
 g at Stanford University\, where he developed techniques for nanoparticle 
 and structure-enabled additive manufacturing of metals.\nHis lab leverages
  novel nano and micro scale experimental mechanics to develop a fundamenta
 l understanding of tissue mechanical response to physiological loads.\n\nC
 onducted at EPFL (Lausanne)\, ME B3 31 from 13:30 to 14:30\nPresentations 
 will be followed by an informal discussion among participants. \n\nFree e
 ntrance: Limited to 94 participants.\nFor the registrations\, simply send
