PhD positions on modeling of flexoelectricity in Barcelona

Submitted by irene.arias on

We are looking for highly motivated and creative PhD researchers to study electromechanical transduction at the nanoscale. It is well known that by deforming some materials (piezoelectrics) electricity can be produced. What is a relatively new discovery is that by bending any dielectric at the nanoscale, significant electrical signals can also be generated. This is the so-called flexoelectric effect.

Research fellow position in Theoretical and Computational Solid Mechanics at IIT Hyderabad

Submitted by Prashant Saxena on

Positions are available to work in cutting edge areas of theoretical and computational solid mechanics. Interested students can later convert this to a formal M.Tech or PhD program.

The candidate will officially be associated with the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad, India.
