A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available immediately in the Advanced Digital & Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) Center at the Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Applicants should demonstrate research capabilities in investigating the acoustic absorption, vibration damping, and mechanical behavior of structural systems made of architected lightweight cellular materials and composites.

A postdoctoral fellow research position is availabe immediately in the Advanced Digital & Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) center at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Applicants should demonstrate research capabilities in computational modeling and experimentation in the area of additive manufacturing (3D printing).

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is availabe immediately in the Department of Aerospce Engineering at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Candidates must be a self-starter and ahve experience in battery/capacitor technology and development of multi-functional composites for the same. Experience in applications of statistical methods such as Design of Experiments, Mixture analysis to the aformentioned research is required. Operational knowledge DSC, DMA, FTIR, structural/functional testing of materials is an added advantage.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in investigating the multi-functional properties of novel types of metamaterials, metastructures, and metacomposites based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). TPMS have been discovered more than 160 years ago and thanks to additive manufacturing (3D printing) they become reality only recently and opend the doors for several applications.

Applicants should demonstrate research capabilities in modeling, experimentation, and testing in the area of additive manufacturing (3D printing). Candidates with research experience related to sandwich panels will be considered with higher priority.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in hydro-fracturing (fracking) is
available immediately at Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu
Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. Masdar Institute is established in collaboration
with Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The research project focuses on

Dear Esteemed Researcher,

2007 Alan T. Waterman Award Winner

The National Science Foundation’s Highest Honor

Recently, there have been many strain gradient theories that are used for the interpretation of size effect at the micron and submicron length scales. The basic idea of these theories is the introduction of a first, or second (or both) gradients of strain or any internal state variable in the governing equations of classical theories.

Please joint me in congratulating Dr. Stelios Kyriakides’ (Editor of International Journal of Solids and Structures) for his election to the United States National Academy of Engineering.
