In March 2021, The University of Manchester signed a 10 year collaboration agreement with the UKAEA, resulting in a £15M investment for two new research groups; Digital Engineering and Tritium. I lead the Digital Engineering group. The aim is to build a virtual garage where engineers can try out new designs for fusion reactors more quickly than building full-scale prototypes.

Fully supported Postdoc and Ph.D. positions are available immediately in Dr. Kai Yu’s research group (https://sites.google.com/site/kaiyuhomepage/) at the University of Colorado Denver.

• The Engineering Department at the University of Cambridge invites applications for a fully-funded PhD position in deep learning / data-driven methods for multi-scale material systems, under the supervision of Dr. Burigede Liu (http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/profiles/bl377). A fully funded PhD studentship is available which covers the university fees and in addition, a stipend of £14,830 per annum for 3 years, with no nationality restrictions.
  

Hi everyone, I am a postdoc at Yale University. I am posting on some of my previous work on fiber networks and heterogeneous materials. We reported that effective stiffness is a concave function of inhomogeneity properties, and effective stiffness becomes smaller with increasing heterogeneity as an example consequence. 

Our new paper on ultrasonic vibration fatigue [a collaboration between 4 universities & 3 countries] is available for free access until  December 21, 2021,

In this journal club, we provide a brief summary on the concept, recent progress and tools of machine learning (ML) potential for atomistic materials modelling. We hope that it could benefit to the readers who are new to this filed and plan to develop their own or use others ML potentials. Comments and disscussions are welcomed. 

In this episode of Soft Robotics Podcast, the host Marwa Eldiwiny and I discussed our recent Science paper on fatigue-resistant hydrogel and elastomer. We talked about tanglemer, a polymer in which entanglements greatly outnumber crosslinks. We also talked about the background that motivated us, including fabrics, polymer metraix composites, ceramic matrix composites, metals.

Postdoc positions are available in Professor Min Luo’s group (https://person.zju.edu.cn/en/minluo) at the Ocean College of Zhejiang University, China. Those holding a Ph.D. degree in the area of Ocean/Coastal Engineering and Fluid Mechanics are welcome to apply. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in Computational/Experimental Fluid Dynamics and data-driven simulation, etc.

The Journal of Engineering Mechanics (JEM) launches a series of high-profile special issues. The second in the series is dedicated to “Statistical Physics in Structural Mechanics”, guest edited by Mohammad Javad Abdolhosseini Qomi, University of California at Irvine and Andrej Kosmrlj, Princeton University. Submissions will be accepted until June 30, 2022.
