phononic crystals

Wave Mechanics and Metamaterials Laboratory seeks candidates with strong knowledge in magnetoelasticity, wave mechanics, finite element modeling (ideally of magneto-mechanical coupling), or strong experimental background in ultrasonics or magnetism (ideally knowing how to operate an electromagnet). For more details, pls, see attached file.

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new topology optimization techniques, various scientific issues surrounding phononic topological insulators.  An example of recent related work from my group can be found here.  The position is available for a 20-month duration, with possible extension to 36 months depending on the availability of funding, with a proposed start date of Jun

First of all, Happy New Year to you all!

We would like to invite you to participate in the Symposium on Acoustic Metamaterials and Phononic Crystals at the ASME 2015 Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference (McMAT2015) to be held this summer from June 29 to July 1, 2015 in Seattle, Washington. 

Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite you to participate in the Annual Symposium on “Phononic Crystals and Metamaterials” at the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Expo (IMECE) to be held in Montreal, Quebec (Nov. 14-20, 2014).

We cordially invite you to participate in Phononics 2013: The Second International Conference on Phononic Crystals/Metamaterials, Phonon Transport and Optomechanics – to be held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from June 2–7, 2013. The conference covers the following themes:

(1) phononic crystals, (2) acoustic metamaterials, (3) wave propagation in periodic structures, (4) nanoscale phonon transport, and (5) optomechanics.  

More information available at: www.phononics2013.org.

We seek for highly motivated Ph.D. candidates in the field of 1) Acoustic metamaterials (e.g., phononic crystals), 2) Advanced composite materials, and 3) NDE/SHM, to join Advanced Structures Laboratory (http://www.me.sc.edu/research/ASL/) at the University of South Carolina. The Advanced Structures Laboratory is located in the Mechanical Engineerin Department, which is ranked 31st nationally according to National Research Council and is recently emerging due to the construction of Aerospace Cluster driven by Boeing Company and GE Aviation.
