One Ph.D opening in Mechanics of Materials starting from 2017 Fall at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA USA

Jie. Yin's picture

One Ph.D. position will be available in the Applied Mechanics of Materials Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering Department at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. The position will start in the coming Fall 2017. The research program will focus on mechanics and design of reconfigurable mechanical metamaterials1 for achieving unprecedented mechanical, photonic, and phononic properties in response to external stimulus, as well as their applications in programmable matter and soft machines. The research will involve a combination of experiments (3D printing, mechanical testing, soft materials synthesis and fabrication etc), analytical modeling, and numerical simulation methods (mainly finite element method).

Candidates with high self-motivation, experimental or modeling background and interests in solid mechanics, mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering are highly encouraged to apply. For international applicants, TOEFL is required. GRE could be waived if you have demonstrated excellence in research or other aspects.

If interested, please send your resume or CV to Dr. Jie Yin at jieyin@temple.edu.
