Dear Colleague,

In the last two years, we published six papers on uniaxial deformation of tungsten nanopillars/nanowires/nanotubes using atomistic and coarse-grained atomistic simulations:

A fully funded Ph.D. position is currently available at the CompNano Lab in the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Miami (https://www.compnanomiami.com/). Our group uses tools from engineering mechanics, statistical physics, and computational chemistry to investigate the fundamental mechanisms governing the remarkable anomalous behavior of nanostructured materials.

Ph.D and Post-doc positions are now open in the Department of Mechanial and Industry Engineering (Mechanics, Biomimetics and 3D printing Lab)  at Northeastern University. Students and researchers with background in solid and structure mechanics, materials science and engineering are welcome to apply! 

If interested, please directly email CV to Professor Yaning Li:  y.li [at] northeastern.edu

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Impact Engineering Experimentation for Aerospace Applications

We are seeking a highly talented and motivated researcher to contribute to the characterisation of the mechanical response of titanium alloys at high rates of strain, high temperature and cyclic loading at low and high strain rate. This post is based at the Begbroke Science Park and is available for 2 years.
