It is with great pleasure that I announce that from mid-May
Prof. Luca Caracoglia (Northeastern University, Boston MA, USA)
will be UniGe Visiting Professor.

During the visiting period, starting from 17 May, Prof. Caracoglia will hold a PhD course entitled
"Probability-Informed Wind Engineering against Synoptic and Non-Synoptic Wind Hazards".
All information is contained in the attached file.

Those interested in participating are invited to write to me.
Thank you very much for the attention,
kindest regards

A postdoctoral research position is available in Dr. Katherine Yanhang Zhang’s Multi-Scale Tissue Biomechanics Lab in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Boston University.

A simple yet effective health indicator (HI)-based data-driven model forecasting the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and thus enabling their efficient management is developed. Five HIs with high physical significance and predictive power extracted from voltage, current, and temperature profiles are used as model inputs. The generalizability and robustness of the proposed ridge regression–based linear regularization model are assessed using three NASA datasets containing information on the behavior of batteries over a wide range of temperatures and discharge rates.

We are searching for a Postdoctoral Associate in collagen and single-molecule biophysics in the laboratory of Drs. Dhaher and Lin. We seek an enthusiastic and talented postdoc to develop and apply state-of-the-art atomic force microscopy (AFM) to elucidate the dynamics and energetics of single biomolecules and their interactions with collagen. 

Dear Colleagues,

There are Postdoc and Ph.D. positions related to impact mechanics and nanoporous materials in our group at the University of Birmingham, funded by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship.

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention as well as share an excellent standing-out example of an outcome of decades of focused academic research as commercial software which finds usage in several industries such as biomedical, electrical, aerospace, civil, mechanical, manufacturing, biological, and agriculture.

Dear member,

I am delighted to extend an invitation to attend the next US National Committee of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM) Distinguished Lecture to be delivered by Professor John Rogers of Northwestern University. The event will take place in-person, at the National Academies in Washington DC, and online (Zoom Live Stream) on May 5^th, 2023, 5-6 PM ET. A flyer with detailed information and a link for registration is enclosed.
