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.

Dear colleagues,
"2022 Xi'an SPHERIC International Workshop" will be held at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi'an, China during March 28th - April 2nd of 2022.
It is an great honor to invite you to the 2022 Xi'an SPHERIC International Workshop (SPHERIC Xi'an 2022).

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share an article titled, "Machine-learned prediction of the electronic fields in a crystal", co-authored by Ying-Shi Teh, Professor Kaushik Bhattacharya and myself. The article is published in the journal Mechanics of Materials. Link to the article:  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmat.2021.104070                               

Second nearest neighbor modified embedded-atom method (2NN-MEAM) interatomic potentials are developed for binary aluminum (Al) alloys applicable from room temperature to the melting point. The binary alloys studied in this work are Al-Cu, Al-Fe and Al-Ni. Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses are performed on potential parameters based on the perturbation approach.

- We find it challenging to solve coupled poroelasticity relations using PINNs (data-free).

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions and an appointment-track (non-tenure-track) faculty position effective September 1, 2022. Preference will be given to appointees at the Assistant Professor level, but applicants with outstanding credentials will be considered at other levels.

The Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo- Engineering at the University of Minnesota seeks applications for a tenure-track faculty position in structural engineering focused on modeling and computational methods. We are interested in applicants with strong core fundamentals in science and engineering that allow them to move easily across disciplinary boundaries and work collaboratively to solve complex problems of local and global interests.
