Conference Update - IMECE 2024

Updates in ASME's International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) 2024 in Portland, OR.

Presentations
Our group was involved in two presentations on advancing differentiable mechanics: 
- "A Neural Network-Enhanced Differentiable Meshfree Method for Computational Mechanics" Contributors: Honghui Du, Binyao Guo
- "Neural Topology Optimization Based on Differential Programming with Principled Constrained Optimization" Contributors: Ryan Devera (Computer Science & Engineering) and Binyao Guo

Committees
Dr. He served on the ASME AI/Deep Learning Best Paper Honors Committee, and joined the IMECE Fracture and Fatigue Mechanics Technical Committee (FFMTC)

Awards
Honghui received the ASME Applied Mechanics Division's Robert M. and Mary Haythornthwaite Foundation Student Travel Award for the work on "Neural-Integrated Meshfree Method for computational mechanics". Congratulations!
