One fully funded PhD position in the Solids Mechanics Lab (LMS) at Ecole Polytechnique, France
A Ph.D. position is available in the Solids Mechanics Laboratory (LMS) at Ecole Polytechnique in the Paris area in France.
The project is to investigate three-dimensional instabilities in magneto-active thin films heterogeneously patterned by design.
The proposed thesis includes both experimental (3D printing of magneto-sensitive polymers) and numerical (finite element) aspects.

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.
