Postdoc opening at Purdue

Submitted by hgomez on

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to perform original research on computational fluid dynamics, with particular emphasis on biofluids. The successful candidate will develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms. This position is in the Gomez Research Group (https://engineering.purdue.edu/gomez/) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue. This is a one-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years.

 

Journal Club: Stretchy Electronics for Soft Robotics

Submitted by Martin Kaltenbrunner on

In essence, we are sensor-clad soft machines capable of myriad intricate tasks. Stripped from proprioceptive feedback, we can no longer walk despite intact locomotor system. Likewise, integration of sensors, complex control loops, or machine learning is crucial in “classical” robotics. This JClub entry discusses recent efforts and challenges of merging soft electronics with robotics.
