Our lab Computational Design & Metamaterial Lab warmly invites applications from students with backgrounds in mechanics, aerospace engineering, computer science, materials, polymers, and related fields.

What are metamaterials?

Metamaterials are a class of structural materials with exotic properties, where their macroscopic physical characteristics arise from the precise geometric design of their microstructures.

We have an opening for Graduate Research Assistant (at Ph.D.-level) to conduct research in areas related to innovative structural materials design and inverse characterization, specifically:

- New structural materials for energy storage applications, and
- Inverse characterization of chemo-mechanical process with multi-sensing data.

The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (http://mie.njit.edu) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (http://www.njit.edu) has an opening for a fully funded Ph.D. position.  The position will start in Spring 2024/Fall 2024. Interested candidates should apply as soon as possible.

Machine Learning and Mechanics

The Computational Mechanics and Methods (CM3) Group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Kentucky is seeking highly self-motivated individuals who have great interest in the broad research areas of computational solid mechanics and methods. Interested individuals should send a detailed CV and both undergraduate and graduate transcripts to Dr. Chen at hailong.chen@uky.edu

One PhD position is available for Fall 2024 at McGill University in collaboration between Advanced Multifunctional and Multiphysics Metamaterials Lab (Department of Bioresource Engineering) and Mine Multiphysics Lab (Department of Mining and Materials Engineering). The research topic is on the area of Architected Mechanical Metamaterials for energy and electronics applications.

Dear friends and colleagues, there is a new open position in soft contact mechanics in my group! We are looking for a motivated mechanical engineer (or alike) to contribute to cutting edge research on adhesion with biological tissue. We aim at developing soft micro-structured bio-compatible adhesive patch and scaffolds to be used for tissue re-attachment after injuries.

With Marek Tyburec, we are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow interested in solving structural topology optimization problems using polynomial programming techniques. Full details of the position are available at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/118834, and the call closes on 30 November 2023.

Dear Colleagues,

The Cambridge Solid Mechanics Group are starting a new project with the aim to transform the design of engineering components from one based on selecting a best single material to one in which material properties and compositions are treated as continuous, spatially varying quantities.
