My name is Tianxiang Su (苏天翔).
	I am a Research Scientist at Schlumberger-Doll Research Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I’ve been here since October 2013.
	I have been doing projects in the areas of computational mechanics, vision-guided industrial robot pick and place, deep-learning based computer vision and more recently real-time system parameter inference using Bayes filters.
	Before joining Schlumberger, I was a post-doctoral researcher in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University from 2011 to 2013. I was co-advised by Dr. Katia Bertoldi (Harvard) and Dr. Pedro M. Reis (was at MIT and now at EPFL).
	I did my Ph.D. study in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at University of Pennsylvania from 2007 to 2011. My advisor is Dr. Prashant K. Purohit.
	I studied solid mechanics and biophysics when I was at UPenn. My Ph.D. thesis discusses the mechanics of floppy polymer filament networks: how they deform under Brownian motion and external applied forces.
	I was an undergraduate student in Peking University (Beijing) from 2003-2007, majored in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. My undergraduate thesis discusses the mechanics of an enzyme called $\alpha$-lytic. My supervisor is Dr. Huaiqiu Zhu.
	I grew up in the city of Guangzhou in south China before I moved to attend college in Beijing. You can find more information about me from the links below in the footer of this web page.
