Looking for a postdoctoral position of synthesis and application of nanocomposites or other materials in energy storage
I am looking for a possible opening for a postdoctor concerning the synthesis and utilizations of nanomaterials and metal oxides nanocomposites or any other else in the energy-related materials. I am a PhD candidate now in Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and I will graduate in June 2012.
During my PhD, my work mainly focuses on the synthesis of nanomaterials and carbon materials and evaluate their electrochemical energy storage performances and explore other useful energy storage devices and tecnologies.
Harnessing snap-through instability in soft dielectrics to achieve giant voltage-triggered deformation
For a dielectric elastomer membrane we show giant voltage-triggered expansion of area by 1692%, far beyond the largest values reported in the literature.
PhD position in the area of Computational Mechanics, Institute of Structural Mechanics, Bauhaus Uni. Weimar
The Institute Structural Mechanics at the Bauhaus University Weimar is looking for a PhD-student who is interested in pursuing her/his PhD in omputational Mechanics. The PhD is about uncertainty quantification, verification and validation in the context of a multiscale methods that ridges atomistic domains with continuum domains.
Qualification
