We cordially invite you to present your work at our symposium titled "Recent Advances in Modeling and Simulation at Nano- and Micro-scales", as part of the 2023 Society of Engineering Science Annual Meeting (SES 2023). The meeting will be held on October 8-11, 2023 in Minneapolis, MN.
Morphing matter includes biological and engineering materials and structures with dynamic and tunable properties such as shape, color, stiffness, texture, and density. Examples include pinecones that open when dried and close when wet, octopus that camouflages by changing body shapes, textures and colors, food that changes shapes during cooking, and smart windows that dynamically tune color and surface roughness.

Fully funded PhD positions are available in my group in the Mechanical Engineering department at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Successful applicants are expected to work on the development of innovative high performance computational methods, including reduced order modeling and scientific machine learning, for multi-scale modeling of additive manufacturing process and materials. Interested candidates that meet at least two of following requirements are encouraged to apply:
Deadline: 5th April 2023 !
I am looking to admit at least two PhD students in the broad area of Fracture Mechanics at the Department of Applied Mechanics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.
The problems we work on are fundamental in nature and utilize mathematics, atomistic simulations and experiments. More details may be found at https://web.iitd.ac.in/~gsingh/
Application deadline is 5th April 2023. A background in solid mechanics is essential.
