Key dates:

Postdoc at Johns Hopkins University in x-ray phase contrast imaging

Submitted by Todd Hufnagel on

The research — We use x-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) to study deformation and fracture of materials under dynamic loading on microsecond and sub-microsecond time scales. For example, we might like to measure the change in pore size distribution of a granular material such as sandstone under impact loading. Answering this question requires us to address theoretical and computational questions of XPCI image interpretation, and also poses an interesting challenge to the experimentalist.

Post-Doctoral Position in Computational Modeling of Topological Insulators

Submitted by Harold S. Park on

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new topology optimization techniques, various scientific issues surrounding phononic topological insulators.  An example of recent related work from my group can be found here.  The position is available for a 20-month duration, with possible extension to 36 months depending on the availability of funding, with a proposed start date of June 1 or July 1, 2021. &nb
