Postdoctoral Researcher opening at Purdue – Computational biomechanics and fluid dynamics

Submitted by hgomez on Wed, 09/23/2020 - 14:29

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to perform original computational research on biomechanics and fluid dynamics. The successful candidate will develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms. This position is in the Gomez Research Group (https://engineering.purdue.edu/gomez/) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue. This is a one-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years.

A new planner BCN lateral heterostructure with outstanding strength and defect-mediated superior semiconducting to conducting properties

Submitted by mohsenzaeem on Tue, 09/22/2020 - 04:56

Motivated by the recent synthesis of boron-carbon-nitride (BCN) monolayers with different atomic compositions, we propose a novel planar BCN lateral heterostructure with a combination of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) counterparts. Density functional theory (DFT) and classical molecular dynamics (CMD) simulations are integrated to examine the effects of defects (vacancy and Stone-Wales (SW) defects) and temperature on the physical properties of the BCN heterostructure.

Opening PhD position-Spring 2021,Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, USA
