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.
