research scientist at IHPC (3 year contract) (Biomechanical modeling)

Submitted by Fangsen on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 07:38

You
will perform research and development in finite element of soft
materials such as prostate, tumour, and liver. You will also develop new
numerical models and methods for solving soft material non-linear
deformation; establish constitutive model of soft tissues and implement a
fast and robust FEM solver.

Requirements:

· A PhD in Biomechanics /Mechanical Engineering

6 CDs in cell mechanics(mechanobiology)

Submitted by Tian Zhi Luo on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 01:53

There are six distinguished biophysicist in cell mechanics field (their research interests cover much broader areas) and the abbreviations of their first names are either C or D. They are Dr. David Weitz (Harvard U.), Dr. Christopher Chen (U. Penn.), Dr. Dennis Discher (U. Penn.), Dr. Denis Wirtz (JHU), Dr. Douglas Robinson (JHU), and Dr. Daniel Fletcher (U.C. Berkeley). These six scientists use both experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the biological responses of proteins and cells to mechanical stimuli, such as forces and geometrical constraints. Their research extends from molecular scale to cellular level to tissue level.

Call for proposals from the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics for organizing AmeriMech Symposia

Submitted by G. Ravichandran on Sat, 03/02/2013 - 13:52

conference

AmeriMech symposia are intended to promote interactions among researchers in an area of contemporary interest in the mechanics of fluids and solids. It is expected that the symposia will address topics of a specialized nature, will be small in size (about 50 participants) with minimal cost, held in an informal setting, encourage participation of young researchers, and promote interdisciplinary ideas and discussions. This format allows for in-depth discussions and close interactions between participants.
