1. Introduction

PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical metamaterials. The position ideally starts in fall 2019, although a later start date (for example, in January 2020) can be considered.

Topics of current interest are:

1) Topological metamaterials;

2) Nonlinear and soft metamaterials;

3) Tunable and programmable metastructures.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.memsci.2019.03.062 This work presents the multilayer transverse flow carbon nanotube (CNT) membrane (TFCM), which resembles vertically aligned CNT arrays, as an alternative candidate for efficient desalination. Using molecular dynamics, this work shows that multilayer TFCM can provide permeability and salt rejection on par with its single layer counterpart.
