Two PhD/PostDoc positions open for Fall 2025 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on: 

(1) Multiphysics modeling of biological systems and/or neuronal mechanics (NSF and ONR funded)

(2) Microstructure modeling in metal Additive Manufacturing (ONR funded).

Both positions focus on extensive computational mechanics and multiphysics modeling, and involve modeling phenomena across length scales. Prospective students with interest in numerical modeling, solid mechanics, multiphysics and/or biomechanics may email CV's to shiva dot rudraraju at wisc dot edu

Dear Colleagues, 

We are organizing a mini-symposium on Multiphysics Modeling of Cells and Tissues at the World Congress in Computational Mechanics (WCCM 2018).

"Multiphysics Modeling of Cells and Tissues (MS 523)"

WCCM 2018 will take place in New York, 22nd-27th of July 2018. Abstract submission is now open and will remain open until December 31, 2017. Information on submitting an abstract can be found at: 

Looking for prospective PhD students with strong background in solid mechanics and numerical methods to join the Computational Mechanics and Multiphysics Group at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Background in modeling contact or contact mechanics is a big plus but not essential.  

The research scope is in the broader areas of mechanics driven multiphysics in morphogenesis/embroyogenesis phenomena (Biophysics) and microstructure evolution in metallic alloys.
