Professor: Materials for Green Energy Technologies at the University of Glasgow

Submitted by skumaar on

James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow is looking for an extremely collegiate research-driven professor with an excellent understanding of the materials and energy domains. The School here in Glasgow is in a very interesting phase of development, with strategic plans to approximately double in size by 2030 and that offers many opportunities for appropriately ambitious candidates. Example research areas include but are not limited to:  

Online Seminar: “Meshfree models for Engineers. Where are they really worthwhile?”

Submitted by mmolinos on

Dear colleges, 

My name is Miguel Molinos, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Seville (Spain). My co-workers, Manuel Pastor and Pedro Navas (UPM), and myself are organizing a thematic seminar with the title "Meshfree models for Engineers. Where are they really worthwhile?". The objective of this seminar is to discuss the potential impact that mesh-free methods can have on those engineers working in industry who usually rely on commercial FEM-based programs.

Graduate research assistant positions at the North Carolina State University

Submitted by Shuozhi Xu on

A research group led by Dr. Liming Xiong (currently at Iowa State and will be moving to NCSU) (https://www.aere.iastate.edu/lmxiong/) at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, is looking for full-support ($2600/month + tuition) graduate research assistants in the general field of theoretical, applied, and computational mechanics of materials.

Chiral topographic instability in shrinking spheres

Submitted by Fan Xu on

Many biological structures exhibit intriguing morphological patterns adapted to environmental cues, which contribute to their important biological functions and also inspire material designs. Here, we report a chiral wrinkling topography in shrinking core–shell spheres, as observed in excessively dehydrated passion fruit and experimentally demonstrated in silicon core–shells under air extraction. Upon shrinkage deformation, the surface initially buckles into a buckyball pattern (periodic hexagons and pentagons) and then transforms into a chiral mode.
