We are looking for a postdoctoral associate to join our vibrant research group in the Computational Nanodynamics Laboratory led by Prof. Sinan Keten at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA. Our research group aims to establish computational tools to understand the mechanical behavior of polymeric and biomolecular materials.
The Gordon Research Conference on the Science of Adhesion is this summer (23-28 July 2023). The meeting will be held on the campus of Mount Holyoke College in western Massachusetts and will have more than 20 invited talks from world leaders in the fields of adhesion, soft matter, and materials. This is a great meeting for students and early career researchers to get connected to the community. Poster presentations are strongly encouraged from all participants, and poster abstracts can still be submitted.
Two postdoctoral researcher positions and one Ph.D. position are available in the Multiphase Fluid-Structure Interaction Lab in Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School. The postdoc will assist the PI (Prof. Shunxiang Cao) in tasks associated with the high-performance simulations of multiphase fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems, including bubbly flow modeling, development of efficient fluid-structure coupling algorithms, development of high-performance fluid-structure coupled solver, and reinforcement-learning-based control of FSI.

In our recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, using a multiscale modeling technique, we investigated how the combination of nanofibrillation and interfacial tuning can have a synergistic effect on the stiffness-toughness balance in rubber-toughened nanocomposites.

Johns Hopkins University’s Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI), in collaboration with the Materials Science in Extreme Environments (MSEE) University Research Alliance, will host a workshop and short course on impact research experiments on July 17-21, 2023. The emphasis of the event will be on impact research experiments performed using gas guns, powder guns, and electromagnetic launchers.
A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available immediately in the Advanced Digital & Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) Center at the Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Applicants should demonstrate research capabilities in investigating the acoustic absorption, vibration damping, and mechanical behavior of structural systems made of architected lightweight cellular materials and composites.
Prof. Huajian Gao becomes Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS).
Prof Gao said: “Being elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society is a huge honour for me – it’s a scientist’s dream. The society is one of the oldest scholarly societies in the world, with legendary scientists among its members like Isaac Newton.”
