I am always eager to have curious students work in the lab. The ideal candidate will have an inclination towards mechanics; biology or medicine; and experimental or computational work. Experience with MATLAB, Python or the like is a plus. Please contact me at joseph.towles@swarthmore.edu if you are interested in joining the lab.
