Job Title                                   Internship in Materials for O&G

Sharing our recent article in Nature that uncovers a surprising aspect of the mechanics of epithelial tissues, termed ‘active superelasticity’, which allows them to undergo extreme reversible deformations under constant tension - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0671-4 (read-only link: https://rdcu.be/batkj)

Several fully funded Ph.D. positions are available at the CompNano Lab in the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Miami (https://www.compnanomiami.com/). Our group uses tools from engineering mechanics, statistical physics, and computational chemistry to investigate the fundamental mechanisms governing the remarkable anomalous behavior of nanostructured materials.

Dear Colleagues,

Please see attached a recent article published in Materials Research Letters. In this article, we identified a new twinning pathway in a γ′ precipitate strengthened Ni-based superalloy by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and demonstrated, via atomistic simulations, that Co in the γ′ precipitates promotes the new twinning pathway featured with nucleation of one complex stacking fault (CSF) on the middle plane between two separated CSFs. 

Best,

Yizhe

RECRUITMENT PERIOD

DESCRIPTION

Postdoctoral Associate

The University of Notre Dame, Center for Shock Wave-processing of Advanced Reactive

Materials (C-SWARM), is seeking a highly qualified candidate for the postdoctoral associate

position in the area of computational mechanics/physics with emphasis on chemically reactive

solids. C-SWARM is center of excellence established by National Nuclear Security

Administration (NNSA) whose primary focus is on the emerging field of predictive science. The

The positions: I am looking to support two PhD students to work with me towards a mechanical understanding of morphing structures such as origami tessellations and lattice materials and metamaterials. By "understanding" I mean anything relevant to the theoretical and numerical modeling of these structures, in static and dynamic regimes, within the context of elasticity whether linearized or not as well as the fabrication and testing of toy models necessary to assess that "understanding".

A fully funded PhD thesis project is available at Polytechnique Montreal on Fluid-Structure Interactions in hydraulic turbines. 

This project is to be done in collaboration with Université Laval in Québec city where a fully instrumented test turbine is available. The thesis is part of a large research consortium involving two universities and the major industrial players in the design and operation of large hydraulic turbines in the province of Quebec (Andritz Hydro, EDF, General Electric, Hydro Québec, Voith Hydro).

Several postdoctoral and graduate student openings with primary focus on biomechanics is available immediately in the Shenoy Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania. We are looking for strongly motivated candidates to work on NIH supported projects on a) cell-matrix interactions in fibrosis and cancer and 2) mechanical mechanisms of traumatic brain injury.  

We are looking for a PhD student in the area of design optimization and composite structures. Applicants with background in the area of computational mechanics/ structural optimization/ composite structures will be preferred.
