Dear Colleagues
I would like to share with you our recent work published on Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.
Abstract
Fresh in Advanced Materials! Synthesis & molecular dynamics modeling of conductive, highly stretchable, flexible, & biocompatible silk‐based composite sensors using biobased carbon materials. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.201904720
Two fully funded PhD positions are available immediately in Dr. Wei Gao’s research group at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The research will be on computational and experimental study on engineering and biological materials. UTSA is located in San Antonio, Texas, a vibrant city of more than 1.6 million people, with significant economic growth and numerous industrial establishments. The city and the University provide excellent cultural and educational opportunities as well as exceptional employment opportunities.
A postdoctoral fellow research position is availabe immediately in the Advanced Digital & Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) center at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Applicants should demonstrate research capabilities in modeling, experimentation, and testing in the area of additive manufacturing (3D printing). Candidates with research experience related to sandwich panels will be considered with higher priority.
The Mechanics and Computational lab at IISc Bangalore has an immediate opening for a research assistant.
Requirements:
Interested candidates can write to h

I recently gave a talk to undergraduate engineering students at U.C. Berkekey on advice for applying to graduate schools in the US. The talk is titled "How to Apply to Graduate School and Fail to Get Admitted." The title is intended to be humorous. The audience was one of the most engaging that I have ever encountered and there were lots of requests for the slides.
The Mechanics of Materials and Structures research group at Ghent University (Belgium) is recruiting 5 PhD/postdoc researchers in the field of experimental and computational mechanics of composites. There are 5 positions:
Scholarship for PhD student working as a researcher in the project SONATA from National Centre of Science Poland.

In this book chapter we discuss some applications of algebraic topology in elasticity. This includes the necessary and sufficient compatibility equations of nonlinear elasticity for non-simply-connected bodies when the ambient space is Euclidean. Algebraic topology is the natural tool to understand the topological obstructions to compatibility for both the deformation gradient F and the right Cauchy-Green strain C. We will investigate the relevance of homology, cohomology, and homotopy groups in elasticity.
We currently have one opening for postdoc position at the Unviersity of Manitoba, Canada in the area of multiscale modeling on High-entropy alloys and functional graded materials.
