Two PhD Positions in Multiscale Modeling of Materials Under Extreme Conditions
Two PhD positions are open for Spring 2019 in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Labat Louisiana Tech Universityon multiscale modeling of materials under extreme conditions. The candidates must have earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields (applicants with a MSc will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. Having knowledge of continuum mechanics, finite element modeling, and a programming language (preferably C++) is a plus.

Multiscale Modeling of Silk and Silk‐Based Biomaterials—A Review
https://doi.org/10.1002/mabi.201800253 In celebration of Stern Family Professor of Engineering David L. Kaplan, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, we review a selection of relevant contributions of computational modeling to understand the properties of natural silk, and to the design of silk-based materials, especially combined with experimental methods.
Special Issue on GBCs in CAGD
In 2019, Elsevier CAGD will be publishing a special issue on ``Generalized Barycentric Coordinates,'' edited by Michael S. Floater (University of Oslo), Kai Hormann (University of Lugano), and myself.
If you expect to have any new contribution in this area, then please do consider submitting a paper to this special issue.
All the details about the special issue can be found in the attached ``Call for Papers.''
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Best wishes,

Active superelasticity of epithelial tissues
Sharing our recent article in Nature that uncovers a surprising aspect of the mechanics of epithelial tissues, termed ‘active superelasticity’, which allows them to undergo extreme reversible deformations under constant tension - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0671-4 (read-only link: https://rdcu.be/batkj)
Open PhD positions at the Computational Nanomaterials Lab at the University of Miami
Several fully funded Ph.D. positions are available at the CompNano Lab in the Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Miami (https://www.compnanomiami.com/). Our group uses tools from engineering mechanics, statistical physics, and computational chemistry to investigate the fundamental mechanisms governing the remarkable anomalous behavior of nanostructured materials.

Nano-twinning in a γ′ precipitate strengthened Ni-based superalloy
Dear Colleagues,
Please see attached a recent article published in Materials Research Letters. In this article, we identified a new twinning pathway in a γ′ precipitate strengthened Ni-based superalloy by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and demonstrated, via atomistic simulations, that Co in the γ′ precipitates promotes the new twinning pathway featured with nucleation of one complex stacking fault (CSF) on the middle plane between two separated CSFs.
Best,
Yizhe
