If you are interested in physics informed neural networks (PINNs) and coupled single and multiphase flow in porous media, please check out our work below: 

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

Faculty Positions in the Advanced Infrastructure Group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

Submitted by johnbrigham on

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.

University of Minnesota - Faculty Position in Structural Engineering

Submitted by stefanogonella on

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.

Quasi-static modelling of methyl cellulose hydrogels

Submitted by D.Rittel on

MC gels are quite common in our life, from medicine through food additives. We have recently worked on their capability to mitigate strong shocks, but now we are concentrating on quasi-static behavior. This new paper examines and summarizes our findings on what we believe is the simplest yet accurate way to model them. Please note that the downloading period is limited.

PhD and postdoctoral positions on lithium batteries and composites fires at Polytechnique Montréal

Submitted by etienne.robert on

Collaborative research project supported by five industrial partners with active research and development programs in the aerospace, fire safety and transport electrification sectors. The problems of fire resistance for batteries and PMCs used as firewalls share many similarities. In both cases, fire-driven failure is often controlled by feedback loops between the heat-driven outgassing of the solid material (be it the PMCs or a battery) and the gas-phase reaction of the combustible species exiting the surface exposed to fire.

Multiple fully funded Ph.D. positions at UConn

Submitted by Osama R. Bilal on

The lab of Wave Engineering for eXtreme and Intelligent matTEr (We-Xite) has multiple openings for Ph.D. positions. We are looking for exceptional and highly motivated candidates with background in Engineering, Physics, Materials or Mathematics. The research will have a balance between experimental characterizations (non-destructive evaluation of samples fabricated using additive and subtractive methods), numerical simulations (finite element modeling) and analytical derivations (nonlinear dynamics of spring-mass systems).
