Open Postdoc on computational methods and inverse problems
A Postdoctoral Fellow is sought to fill an immediate opening in the Gross Materials Lab at the University of South Carolina to work on a DARPA funded project. The postdoc will have the opportunity to attend regular meetings with DARPA and other DOD program managers. The research is focused on extracting yield surfaces from data rich full-field experimental information by solving an inverse problem.

Postdoc at Oxford on the mechanics of solid state batteries
We are hiring a postdoc to work on the mechanics of solid state batteries. The postdoc will be based at the Mechanics of Materials Lab (Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford) and work co-supervised by Profs Laurence Brassart and Emilio Martinez-Paneda. A close collaboration with experimentalists in the Pasta Group (Materials Department) is also expected.
University of Wyoming Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows: AI + a second area (e.g., Solid Mechanics and Materials realted to energy applicaiton)
Dear Colleagues,
The University of Wyoming is accepting applications for the Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows Program, a two-year interdisciplinary research position focusing on AI applications in several selected areas.
Kinetics of ferroelastic domain switching with and without back-switching events: A phase-field study
I am pleased to share our first open-access article of 2025! just published in #ActaMaterialia.
Leonardo's universal friction coefficient is found to be universal after all!
It turns out that friction coefficient 0.25 suggested as universal by Leonardo da Vinci more than 500 years ago has some universaility, as minimum friction coefficient for any granular material: it makes me proud as italian ;)
I guess it would be interesting to show this experimental result also theoretically or numerically, any interest?
2025 KTH Computational Tissue Biomechanics Summer School, August 17th to 22nd
HAPPY NEW YEAR and good news first:
We will run our KTH Computational Tissue Biomechanics Summer School again this year!!
