We are hiring PhD students !!

Daedalus, our new research group at Georgia Institute of Technology, has an opening for two PhD students with background in solid/experimental mechanics to work towards developing high throughput fracture testing methods as well as mechanics of green structures. Starting date: Spring 2024. Applications of both experimental and computational backgrounds will be evaluated.

Dear Colleagues, It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the upcoming symposium, "Mechanics of Electrochemical Systems" (Symposium 10-12), which will take place at the 2023 SES Conference. This symposium offers an great opportunity to connect with leading researchers in the field of electro-chemo-mechanics.

Daedalus, our new research group at Georgia Institute of Technology, has openings for PhD students and postdocs to work towards developing materials & manufacturing methods for blue skies & beyond. Starting date for PhD students is Spring 2023, while the postdoc position is available as of Fall 2022. Applications of both experimental and computational backgrounds are very welcome! 

A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the School of Engineering at Brown University in Providence, RI, in the area of nancomposites of ceramics and carbon nanomaterials. A Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering or a related discipline is required. Experience in any combination of the following is desirable: synthesis/processing; characterization; nano-/micro-mechanical testing; and nano-/micro-mechanics modeling. This is jointly supervised by Profs. Nitin Padture and Brian W. Sheldon.

Safer batteries, more efficient gas-turbine engines and solar cells, all require better-engineered nanocomposite materials. There is a limitation though -- how to investigate the fracture mechanics of these materials? Machine learning can help us overcome this limitation.

Engineering ceramic/nanocomposite interfaces may lead to the development of ultra-tough ceramic nanocomposites. The novel processing method, as well as micromechanical interpretation of the above result, can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbon.2020.02.075
