Looking for a job opportunity in Mechanical Engineering
Dear All,
My name is Anton and I have graduated from New Mexico State University with my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering in August. I am currently looking for a job opportunities in both industry and academia (PhD). I am keep looking for an openings on this web-site myself, but I will be grateful for any suggestions. If someone knows any other opportunities please let me know.
Here is a brief summary of my qualifications:
•Solid Mechanics and Materials. Physics of Strength and Plasticity. Modeling of Mechanical systems
RA position is available in the University of Alabama in Huntsville
One immediate graduate student RA position is available. The potential student will register to the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering and perform graduate research in the area of energy storage/conversion using first-principles calculations. Stipend and tuition support will be provided.
Any student who has a background in physics and/or materials science at either atomic scales or continuum scales is welcomed to email his/her CV to Prof. Eunseok Lee (eunseok.lee [at] uah.edu).
Open position for PhD students on multiscale modeling at Louisiana Tech
There are openings in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design lab at Louisiana Tech University for research on multiscale material modeling and simulation. We will use different numerical methods such as Molecular Dynamics, Phase Field, and Finite Element Method to investigate the effect of micro/nanostructure on the overall characteristics of the materials under different environment. The focus is on low dimensional materials, materials for energy, and materials under extreme environments.
Multiscale real-space quantum-mechanical tight-binding calculations of electronic structure in crystals with defects using perfectly matched layers
<p>We consider the scattering of incident plane-wave electrons from a defect in a crystal modeled by the time-harmonic Schrödinger equation. While the defect potential is localized, the far-field potential is periodic, unlike standard free-space scattering problems. Previous work on the Schrödinger equation has been almost entirely in free-space conditions; a few works on crystals have been in one-dimension. We construct absorbing boundary conditions for this problem using perfectly matched layers in a tight-binding formulation.
