There is an anceint saying "A room of many doors will be windy, a person of many works (talkative) will bring disaster". Can this saying be applicable to special cases of maxillary sinus with accessary ostia? Tppically a sinus only has one opening, known as ostium. The air, mucus, can only enter and discharge via this single opening. However, for some, the sinus may have multiple openings, known as accessory ostium. In the work below, we use computaitonal fluid dynamics to examine the effect.

A PostDoc/Research Associate Position is available immediately at Colorado School of Mines. The applicants should have a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science or a relevant field, with a strong background in phase-field modeling and/or MD simulations, especially in the area of diffusionless phase transformation and ferroelasticity. Knowledge of machine learning and data analysis is a plus.

We are seeking a creative and enthusiastic postdoc to work at Duke University as part of a collaborative DOE funded project entitled "FAIR Data and Interpretable AI Framework for Architectured Metamaterials". Candidate should have phd in mechanical or materials engineering, with experience in mechanical metamaterials, the underlying physical principles, finite element simulations, and preferably some knowledge of AI/ML and desire to learn more.

Dr. Wentao Yan's group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), focuses on metal additive manufacturing: computational modeling, experimental investigation and data analytics.
There are three openings for postdoctoral fellows available immediately. The candidates are required to have expertise in one of the following areas:

1) Thermal stress;

2) Fracture and cracking;

3) Uncertainty quantification and propagation;

4) Multi-objective optimization.

There is an opportunity to apply for a scholarship at the University of Ghent in Belgium as part of the DyMaLab laboratory on the following topic: Coupled experimental-numerical techniques to identify impact-dynamic properties of advanced materials. A detailed description is available in the attached PDF.

Very proud to have been collaborating for long time, since my PhD, with Prof. M.

We are seeking a postdoctoral scholar to carry out research on large deployable structures for future spacecraft systems. The focus is on advancing viscoelasticity and viscoplastic modeling and characterization methods for high-precision optical structures based on composite materials. A background in solid mechanics and composite structures is required. 

As I conclude this year's undergraduate course Introduction to Materials Science, I have collected some interesting reading/watching materials for my class: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GhuaP9K1fDXuHe8TcI5dmjJvnakDLKPOQNKGoNW-AXk/edit?usp=sharing

Most of them are publicly available. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.
