One PhD student is sought to fill an opening in the Gross Materials Lab (group website: andrewjgross.com) at the University of South Carolina. This research is focused on developing predictive models for how damage forms in carbon/carbon composites during manufacturing. This research will be primarily computational and provide opportunities to work closely with a team of researchers that are conducting experiments.  Students must be capable coders and a US citizen to be considered.

Dear motivated PhDs of India, 

There is an opprtunity to work on experimental and numerical fracture mechanics using the prestigious National Post Doctoral Fellowship (N-PDF) by SERB India.

The details are available at: https://serbonline.in/SERB/npdf

We can have a discussion for a topic in Fracture Mechanics experimental and/or numerical. The scheme is opening on 3rd July 2023. 

Description of Position: Applications are invited for a Research Associate position available immediately in the Department of Energy (DOE) Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP) Multidisciplinary Simulation Center (MSC) at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Advanced Electrical Conductors (CNT, Graphene, and Metal-based) -- US-based candidates with work authorization only.

Professors Martin Diehl and Nele Moelans (both KU Leuven) and Dr. Duancheng Ma (Umicore) are seeking a Ph.D. candidate to work with them on the multiphysics modeling of cathode materials.

Design of mechanical metamaterials is typically realized by repeating microstructured building blocks or unit cells. Microstructures of these unit cells can be identical, whereas individual design of each cell and various combinations of unit cells definitely offer more freedoms and possibilities for combinatorial design of metamaterials. Unfortunately, this combinatorial design problem is prohibitively challenging, if not impossible, due mainly to its huge number of combinatorial cases.

I am excited to announce our work (with Dr. Oden) on enhancing the accuracy of neural operators using the so-called corrector operator. This work is a culmination of our efforts in using goal-oriented a-posteriori error estimates in Bayesian inference in Jha and Oden (2022), JCP 470, 111575, and recently using a similar idea in Cao et al. (2023), JCP 486, 112104.
