I'm looking for a motivated Ph.D. student to start in Spring 2022. The qualified candidate must have a strong mechanics and programming background (including finite element and solid mechanics courses in addition to experiences with Python, C++, and/or Fortran). Please email me your CV if interested.

A postdoctoral and graduate student openings with the main focus on the mechanics of composites materials are available immediately in Shakiba's group. We are looking for strongly motivated candidates to work on an AFOSR supported project on 1) thermo-mechanical damage coupling in FRPs, 2) simulation of additively manufactured composites and 3) sensitivity and machine learning for damage predictions.

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your relevant work to a mini-symposium on “Damage And Thermo-Chemo-Mechanical Coupling In Polymers” (full description below) at the 2020 Society of Engineering Science. SES 2020 will be held at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, September 28-30th.

We also like to announce that Prof. Ellen Arruda will give the keynote of this symposium. 

We are looking for two motivated PhD students to join us in Spring 2020. The successful candidate should have a strong background in continuum mechanics and be proficients in programming. Please take a look at the attached descriptions.
