Our lab Computational Design & Metamaterial Lab warmly invites applications from students with backgrounds in mechanics, aerospace engineering, computer science, materials, polymers, and related fields.

What are metamaterials?

Metamaterials are a class of structural materials with exotic properties, where their macroscopic physical characteristics arise from the precise geometric design of their microstructures.

We have an opening for Graduate Research Assistant (at Ph.D.-level) to conduct research in areas related to innovative structural materials design and inverse characterization, specifically:

- New structural materials for energy storage applications, and
- Inverse characterization of chemo-mechanical process with multi-sensing data.

The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (http://mie.njit.edu) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (http://www.njit.edu) has an opening for a fully funded Ph.D. position.  The position will start in Spring 2024/Fall 2024. Interested candidates should apply as soon as possible.

Machine Learning and Mechanics

Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in applying machine learning techniques to problems in mechanics. From material design optimization, manufacturing, to multiscale modelling, to real time prediction and autonomy, data mining and analysis, machine learning techniques have had a massive impact in the field.

The Computational Mechanics and Methods (CM3) Group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Kentucky is seeking highly self-motivated individuals who have great interest in the broad research areas of computational solid mechanics and methods. Interested individuals should send a detailed CV and both undergraduate and graduate transcripts to Dr. Chen at hailong.chen [at] uky.edu (hailong[dot]chen[at]uky[dot]edu)
