A new Ph.D. position is available for Fall 2021 in the Department of Mechanical
Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The research will involve
computational modeling of complex fluids and soft matters with particular emphasis
on particle-laden multiphase flows.
Preferred Qualifications:
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the 2nd International Workshop on Plasticity, Damage and Fracture of Engineering Materials, which will take place online organized from Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey on 18-20 August 2021.
Dear fellow iMechanicians,
Here is our recent paper published in EML on novel anti-icing materials based on propylene-glycol (PG) gels. This work was performed in collaboration with Xi Yao, Baohong Chen and myself while working in Zhigang Suo's lab at Harvard, and provides new solutions for anti-icing purposes (i.e. throug blankets design) without large and costly release of PG in the environment.
