In the past 3 years, Brown Engineering faculty led by Professor Yuri Bazilevs with co-directors Professors Kenny Breuer and Pradeep Guduru have won more than $15 million in awards for research in Mechanics of Undersea Science and Engineering (MUSE). This was made possible by partnering with Naval researchers and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, R.I.

This center may bring great opportunities for doing doctoral and postdoctoral research at Brown. I look forward to interacting with new colleagues and following the progress of MUSE.

Dear colleagues,

Deadline to submit your abstract to USNCCM2021 is fast approacing (Februart 5). If you are working with machine learning, uncertainty quantification, optimization or a related topic, consider the following symposia:

• USNCCM2021: MS309 Data-driven Science with Uncertainty Quantification, Machine Learning, and Optimization

This mini-symposium has been quite popular and with high quality speakers in the last editions of USNCCMs and WCCMs. We hope it stays this way ;)

Hiring four (4) new PhD students to join us at MACHINA: the new TUDelft AI lab that I am leading.

Each position is unique and has different co-advisors. Pick wisely ;)

Machine learning (ML) in Mechanics is a fascinating and timely topic. This article follows from a kind invitation to provide some thoughts about the use of ML algorithms to solve mechanics problems by overviewing my past and current research efforts along with students and collaborators in this field. A brief introduction on ML is initially provided for the colleagues not familiar with the topic, followed by a section about the usefulness of ML in Mechanics, and finally I will reflect on the challenges and opportunities in this field.

Dear colleagues,

Deadline to submit your abstract to ICTAM2020 and WCCM2020 is fast approacing (January 20 & 15, respectively). If you are working with machine learning, uncertainty quantification, optimization or a related topic, consider the following symposia:

Dear colleagues,

Richard Norte and I are looking for a postdoctoral scholar with interest in machine learning and good knowledge on finite element analyses.

Dear colleagues,

We encourage you to submit your abstracts to minisymposium 1801 of the 13th World Congress on Computational Mechanics (New York City, from July 22 to 27 of 2018). This minisymposium focuses on:

1. recently developed methods for data-driven approaches;

2. data-driven applications to fluids, structures and materials involving (but not limited to) machine learning, uncertainty quantification and/or optimization.
