I am currently recruiting new PhD students to join my research group at The School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester. The core focus of the group is advanced computing for engineering simulation. My research interests centre on extreme scale parallel computing, cloud computing and virtual reality simulation platforms, applied to scientific and engineering problems involving complex processes.

PostDoc position at GATech - Origami Engineering

Submitted by paulino on
job

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITION School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow. The position’s primary area of research will focus on origami engineering with emphasis on metamaterials, adaptive structures, optimization, and additive manufacturing. Expertise is particularly sought in rapid prototyping, multiphysics modeling, and nonlinear multiscale finite element analysis and design. The initial appointment is for one year with potential to extend, subject to the availability of funds.

Measurements of stress and fracture in germanium electrodes of lithium-ion batteries during electrochemical lithiation and delithiation

Submitted by Matt Pharr on

We measure stresses that develop in sputter-deposited amorphous Ge thin films during electrochemical lithiation and delithiation. Amorphous LixGe electrodes are found to flow plastically at stresses that are significantly smaller than those of their amorphous LixSi counterparts. The stress measurements allow for quantification of the elastic modulus of amorphous LixGe as a function of lithium concentration, indicating a much-reduced stiffness compared to pure Ge.
