5.6 Intelligent Structures for Robotics
University of New South Wales, PhD in Mechanical/Civil Engineering
Dr Liya Zhao from the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney, global ranking QS = 45th, US News = 41th), is seeking PhD students to work on projects related to the following topics. Full scholarship will be provided (Tuition waiver + stipend).
• Nonlinear dynamics
• Vibration energy harvesting (harnessing renewable energy from base vibration or wind-induced vibration, ocean wave, etc.; developing efficiency enhancement innovations)

A question: The entropy of the universe taken as a whole, modelled as a molecular dynamics system
Suppose that we model the entire universe (i.e. the entirety of the known physical universe) as a huge isolated system, using molecular dynamics (MD for short).
The question is: How would you show that the entropy of such a system does in fact always increase? that it neither decreases nor stays the same?
