We invite you to read our article, which informs one about the extent to which resonances can be tuned in metamaterials. More precisely, our work provides tight bounds correlating the Quality-factor with peak absorption in dielectric metamaterials. The article is published in Applied Physics Letters and can be found here:https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0155092
We will have an opening for a postdoctoral position at the CC&B, University of Milan in the group of Prof. Zapperi. We are looking for candidates with strong programming skills who are interested in working at the frontier between academic and industrial research. The candidates should have a Ph. D in computer science, computational materials science, physics, mathematics or engineering.
In the works below, an isogeometric analysis combined with adjoint sensitivity analysis is used for the design of mechancial metamaterials. A detailed introduction to isogeometric analysis (IGA), formulation and implementation of adjoint sensitivity analysis in the nonlinear regime for auxetics design is included in the thesis and papers below. The work presents a holistic physics-based approach for structural shape optimization using IGA. Kindly cite the work if you find useful.
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials, architected solids and wave physics.
