Congrats to my colleagues for their new center at Brown: MUSE
In the past 3 years, Brown Engineering faculty led by Professor Yuri Bazilevs with co-directors Professors Kenny Breuer and Pradeep Guduru have won more than $15 million in awards for research in Mechanics of Undersea Science and Engineering (MUSE). This was made possible by partnering with Naval researchers and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, R.I.
This center may bring great opportunities for doing doctoral and postdoctoral research at Brown. I look forward to interacting with new colleagues and following the progress of MUSE.

Accretion-Ablation Mechanics
In this paper we formulate a geometric nonlinear theory of the mechanics of accreting-ablating bodies. This is a generalization of the theory of accretion mechanics of Sozio and Yavari (2019). More specifically, we are interested in large deformation analysis of bodies that undergo a continuous and simultaneous accretion and ablation on their boundaries while under external loads.
Ph.D. in Mechanics of Soft Materials
Ph.D. position at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. The research is concerned with experiments and modeling of failure and fracture in soft materials. Preference will be given to candidates with background in nonlinear finite element methods and constitutive modeling. If you are interested, please send an email to me at: cvolokh [at] technion.ac.il (cvolokh[at]technion[dot]ac[dot]il) with a single PDF file containing your CV, g
