A funded PhD position is available immediately to work on mechanics modeling for 3D printed biomaterials. The PhD student is expected to conduct continuum modeling and finite element simulation (Abaqus) informed from meso-/micro-scale simulation results and experimental data.

PhD positions in the areas of soft robots, printed electronics, and bioinspired materials are available now in the Laboratory of Soft Machines & Electronics at the School of Packaging and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University.

The Michigan State University (MSU) School of Packaging invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in the area of Packaging Innovation, Design and Additive Manufacturing. The appoint will be at the assistant professor level with a combined research/teaching/service responsibility. Review of applications will begin on February 1, 2018 and will continue until the position is filled.

Professor Charles Wojnar from Missouri University of Science and Technology has been selected to receive the 2018 Journal of Applied Mechanics Award for the paper "Linking Internal Dissipation Mechanisms to the Effective Complex Viscoelastic Moduli of Ferroelectrics", Journal of Applied Mechanics, v 84, #021006, 2017.

Join us at the University of Washington, Seattle, on Wednesday January 24th (1.30pm-4.30pm) for a free workshop on obtaining high-fidelity models from 3D image data.
