An introduction to thermodynamics
I will be teaching undergraduate thermodynamics in the Fall 2019. I am writing a google doc for the lectures and problems.
Funded PhD position
I have a fully funded PhD position available in my research group. Please pass it around to your contacts and students.
Details can be found below or one can directly get in touch with me for more details.
Size-dependent mechanical behaviour of nanowires: an overview
A recent study reviews achievements made in the determination of the size‐dependent mechanical properties of nanowires. Covering both measurement techniques and computational approaches, data reported in the literature are summarized for a variety of nanowires.

Postdoctoral fellowship in computational fracture mechanics at Duke University
I have an opening for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University. The project is a collaboration with experimentalists. and concerns problems in which fractures are driven by fluid flow through porous media.
The ideal candidate will have some background in finite element methods and mechanics, nonlinear coupled field problems, C++, and high-performance computing. Experience with fracture mechanics is useful but not required.
