Call-for-paper: Symposium on Low Dimensional Carbon NanoMaterials at ASME McMAT-2011

Submitted by Teng Li on

 

The ASME Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, McMAT-2011    (31 May ~ 2 June 2011, Chicago, IL)

Symposium 7: Low Dimensional Carbon NanoMaterials: Properties and Applications

Deadline for abstract submission: 30 Jan. 2011

Postdoc position at MIT available immediately

Submitted by Markus J. Buehler on

We have several open postdoc positions, to be filled immediately.



The first project is focused on thermal management. The project involves the computational and theoretical analysis of graphene/graphite-metal nanocomposites and experimental work carried out by other team members. We are looking for a strong person with background in thermal and mechanical properties of materials, preferrably with background in molecular simulation.

Physicists Won 2010 Nobel Prize for Discovery of Graphene

Submitted by Teng Li on

As announced on 5 Oct. 2010, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester won the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene". Geim and Konstantin first reported the experimental observation of graphene in 2004 .  Novoselov, 36, is also the youngest physics laureate since 1973.  

 

Postdoc position at MIT: Thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposites

Submitted by Markus J. Buehler on

A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately,
focused on the analysis and development of multifunctional thermal
management structures, by using theoretical and atomistic multiscale
modeling and simulation. This project specifically involves calculations
of thermal and mechanical properties of graphene based metal- and
polymer nanocomposites, with a focus on various aspects such as
interfacial transport properties, tunability, mutability and phonon
engineering. Additional aspects of the project relate to the general
