PhD position in computational mechanics and machine learning at TU Darmstadt (Germany)
The Cyber-Physical Simulation Group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Darmstadt in Germany is looking for an excellent candidate interested in doing research on a Ph.D. in the areas of computational mechanics and machine learning.
Female candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.
Potential research directions include:
Living muscle-driven pumps with flow loop feedback
Tissue-engineered living machines is an emerging discipline that employs complex interactions between living cells and engineered scaffolds to self-assemble biohybrid systems for diverse scientific research and technological applications. Here, we report an adaptive, autonomous biohybrid pumping machine with flow loop feedback powered by engineered living muscles. The tissue is made from skeletal muscle cells (C2C12) and collagen I/Matrigel matrix, which self-assembles into a ring that compresses a soft hydrogel tube connected at both ends to a rigid fluidic platform.
Postdoc opportunities at UC San Diego
The M2DO lab at UC San Diego has multiple Post-Doctoral Researcher Openings to conduct research in developing topology optimization in collaboration with NASA, Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories, and industries.

Designing architected materials, M Ashby, Scripta Materialia, 2013
Novelty/impact/significance:
The idea of seeking unknow higher-performance materials from known materials, the novel route by making hybrid or architectured materials, the corresponding methodology with concise fundamentals for optimized properties from constituents and configurations are described. The entire presentation is clear, coherent, and complete, a classical, lasting work in this field.
