2 Postdoc Positions: Nanoscale Mechanics of Surfaces and Interfaces
There are two openings for postdoctoral researchers in the research group of Prof. Tevis Jacobs in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh.
The purpose of the research effort is to understand the performance of advanced materials used in the semiconductor industry. Within this larger research effort, there are two sub-projects, each of which will be led by a different postdoctoral researcher. In both cases, the research will involve the following activities:
Deformation Mechanisms in Gold Nanoporous
Our recent work on nanoporous gold addresses defrmation mechanisms in nanoporous gold through molecular dynamics simulations, proposing the use of load transfer between nanopores for biosensing applications.
