Morie pattern
When you grow layered material via vapor phase homoepitaxy (e.g. graphene on graphene), you occasionaly get Morie patterns projected along the out-of-plane directions. This means that you have in-plane misorientation. What is the reason for this?
Two postdocs and two PhDs at UC San Diego and Cardiff University (UK)
Applications are sought for one Post-Doctoral Researcher at University of California, San Diego (USA) and one Post-Doctoral Researcher at Cardiff University (UK) and two PhDs (Cardiff) to join a very active cross-continental M2DO research lab. The primary research focus is to develop topology optimization for multiscale and multiphysics problems optimizing materials and structures. The research members are required to travel between US and UK regardless of their bases.
Research experience in the following areas are required.

A new review article on stretchable and reconfigurable electronics
Muhammad Hussain leads a dynamic group at KAUST working on the development of stretchable and reconfigurable electronics. He came to the field with a background of semiconductors. Last year he gave an Applied Mechanics Colloquium at Harvard. Students and faculty were all deeply impressed by the creativity and range of his work.
PhD studentship available at Imperial College London –UK students only
Applicants are invited for a 4-year PhD position within the Mechanical Engineering Department to start Oct 2016.
The project will be focused on computational modelling of particulate composites for the defence sector, dealing with non-linear materials and developing interfacial models. The project is fully funded (includes bursary and fees) by an ESPRC CASE award and the student will be expected to spend a portion of the studentship with the industrial collaborators.
