Models and applications regard photovoltaic modules, solid oxide fuel cells, and piezoelectrical systems for energy harvesting.

Yours sincerely, 

Marco Paggi 

Principal Investigator 

A position for a post-doctoral researcher is available in the Microstructure Testing and Analysis Laboratory, School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. The individual appointed to the position will be responsible for research on failure of trabecular bone. A strong background in solid mechanics is desired, with knowledge of numerical simulation. Interest and willingness to participate in an interdisciplinary research team is essential. The position is available for a start Sept. 1, 2016. The position is for 12 months with extension possible pending on performance.

Funded PhD thesis in Mechanical Engineering

Computational and experimental investigation on the dynamic stability of a flat plate deforming with large amplitude under fluid flow

A fully funded thesis project is proposed at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, Canada to start in 2017.

A PhD/Postdoc position is available for Indian nationals in my group to work in the broad area of "Molecular origin of elastic/plastic deformations in nanorods". This is a collaborative project with Germany and may require a semester or two stay in Germany. The PhD applicant should have good background in mathematics and solid mechanics. The postdoc candidate should preferably also be familiar with molecular modeling of materials.

One postdoc position is available in professor Abdolrahim’s group in the department of mechanical engineering at University of Rochester ( http://acmml.com/).
