Daedalus, our research group at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is announcing an opening for a postdoctoral researcher. We are looking for an individual with a background in solid/experimental mechanics or polymer engineering to contribute to our pioneering projects on high-throughput mechanical testing methods and mechanics of flexible materials. This project is a collaborative effort with a major industrial partner in the US, making it an excellent opportunity for those interested in exploring a novel application area and pursuing an academic career.

Challenges

For ionic and dielectric materials, the polarization (dipole moment per unit cell) is plagued with non-uniqueness. As a 1D example, consider a 1D line of alternating positive and negative charges. If we agree that the dipole is a vector from the negative to the positive charge, then we have two choices for the dipole. This is because every negative charge has two different positive charges in its immediate vicinity. The situation gets more complicated in higher dimensions.

Hello,

We are looking for a doctoral student to work on wave-ice interaction. The emphasis in this research is on experiments in the 40m x 40m Aalto Ice and Wave Tank with a novel wave-maker, and our interest extends to ship-wave-ice interaction. The position is fully funded for four years and may include also field work. 

We have an open PhD position as MSCA Fellow in the FibReLoop project (see full description of this project at the end of this post). This position will be hosted by the Composite Materials Group at KU Leuven (www.composites-kuleuven.be). The title is: Recycling and re-using continuous carbon fibres from filament-wound Elium products

A dream came true, and the fifth submission of this networking project to COST Association was approved for funding.

It will start from November 2024 for the total duration of 4 years. The broad cooperation will focus on developing tools and data sets, which can streamline research and validation of fatigue estimation criteria.
