Welcome to the Hurley Group at Johns Hopkins University. We seek to see, understand, and predict the mechanical behavior of geomaterials (granular materials, rocks, concrete) and ceramics by developing and using novel experimental techniques, theory, and simulations. Our current research topics and recent publications can be found on our Research and Publications pages.
We are currently seeking two Ph.D. students to join our group starting in Fall 2026. If you are interested in working with our group, please see our Opportunities page.
