Dear Colleagues:

Dear Colleagues:  Our Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU-Boulder is seeking a dynamic and innovative leader to serve as the new Chair. We are undergoing a period of unprecedented faculty growth and expansion to match an ambitious vision of research and teaching excellence.

We introduce our recent works on advanced fabrication and mechanics of hard-magnetic soft materials towards the development of untethered soft machines and robots actuated and controlled by magnetic fields.

Please see our recent publication in Extreme Mechanics Letters:

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to submit your one-page abstract to our Mini-Symposium (MS403) "Multiscale Modeling in Bio-Mechanical Systems" for Finite Elements in Fluids 2019 (FEF-2019)

Date & Location:

March 31-April 3, 2019, Chicago, IL

Huilong Hou, Peter Finkel, Margo Staruch, Jun Cui & Ichiro Takeuchi, Ultra-low-field magneto-elastocaloric cooling in a multiferroic composite device, Nature Communications 9(1): 4075, (2018).

Two PhD positions are open for Spring 2019 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Labat Louisiana Tech Universityon multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with a MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language (preferably C++) is a plus.
