We have a new opening for a Post-Doctoral Researcher starting immediately in the Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at the University of Colorado Boulder.

We have new openings for PhD students –fully funded - in the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at The University of Colorado Boulder, starting Fall 2022 or earlier. 

We have several new openings for Master and PhD students at the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration (http://barthelat-lab.mcgill.ca), starting Fall 2019.

We are still accepting Poster abstract for this event, Deadline for abstract submission: Feb 28, 2018. Abstract submission and all other inquires: amm2018@purdue.edu

This "Architectured Materials Mechanics" IUTAM (http://iutam.org/) Symposium will take place September 17-19, 2018 in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It aims to provide a state of the art on the engineering science (design, fabrication, mechanics) of architectured materials including (but not limited to): lattice materials, metamaterials, origami, topologically interlocked materials and bioinspired materials. The list of invited speakers can be found on the symposium website:

We have new openings for two PhD students –fully funded - in the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at McGill University, starting Fall 2018 (Application deadline: 01/15/2018)

The 53rd Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science will be held at the University of Maryland (UMD), 2-5 October 2016. We are organizing a symposium on Architectured Metamaterials which will cover research on the structure, mechanics, design, optimization, fabrication and mechanical performance of all categories of architectured materials including but not limited to lattice materials, metamaterials, topologically interlocked materials and bio-inspired materials. 

We have a new opening for a Post-doctoral researcher starting immediately in the Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration at McGill University, Montreal.

We have openings for new PhD students in the Biomimetic Materials Laboratory at McGill University, starting January 2015.

I have an open position for a Post-doctoral researcher in the area of the mechanics of biological materials and novel biomimetic materials, starting immediately. The projects involve mechanics of biological and engineered nano and micro-interfaces, mechanics of fish scales, and design, fabrication and testing of composite materials inspired from nacre. The successful candidate will lead 1-2 projects and will be involved in another 2-3 ongoing projects in these areas, in collaboration with graduate students (more below).   

The Society for Experimental Mechanics will hold its 2nd Symposium on Biological Materials and Systems, next June in Costa Mesa, CA. http://www.sem.org/CONF-AC-TOP.asp  

Submission deadline has been extended to October 21th

Topics include:  

Following our recent article on this new method, we are making our Matlab routines available. The package contains standard DIC, SSDIC, plus a few extras. More info here

“Subset Splitting Digital Image Correlation” (SSDIC) is based on DIC, but in addition SSDIC can capture displacement discontinuities near shear bands or cracks, where standard DIC fails.

I now have several openings for Masters and PhDs for the following projects:

1) Biomimetic study of the structure, mechanics and design of fish scales (funding: NSF). Involves atomic force and scanning electron microscopy, mechanics of composites and fracture, small scale and in-situ testing, multiscale modeling.

I have an open position for a Post-doctoral researcher in the area of biomimetics and novel ceramic composite armor designs, starting immediately.  

We are now accepting abstracts on: 

• Mechanics of hard and soft biological materials
• Mechanics of biomimetic materials and systems
• Experimental methods applied to biological materials and systems
