Hello,

 I am looking for a job in applied mechanics in California, to start in or around July 2008.  I am trained (Ph.D.) in applied mathematics, modeling, and computational mechanics (of biological tissues), general continuum mechanics, constitutive modeling, and optimal control.  Greatly interested in dynamic modeling and analysis, stress / thermal analysis, and modeling problems related to design, e.g. medical devices.  Will be glad to be more involved in design.

 My CV, including my contact information, can be found at  http://math.uci.edu/~sadovsky/docs/cv-02-2008.pdf

 If seeking such candidates, please email me.  Thanks!
