Postdoctoral Researcher opening at Purdue – Computational biomechanics and fluid dynamics

Submitted by hgomez on

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to perform original computational research on biomechanics and fluid dynamics. The successful candidate will develop numerical methods to model coupled processes on high-performance computing platforms. This position is in the Gomez Research Group (https://engineering.purdue.edu/gomez/) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue. This is a one-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years.

A new planner BCN lateral heterostructure with outstanding strength and defect-mediated superior semiconducting to conducting properties

Submitted by mohsenzaeem on

Motivated by the recent synthesis of boron-carbon-nitride (BCN) monolayers with different atomic compositions, we propose a novel planar BCN lateral heterostructure with a combination of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) counterparts. Density functional theory (DFT) and classical molecular dynamics (CMD) simulations are integrated to examine the effects of defects (vacancy and Stone-Wales (SW) defects) and temperature on the physical properties of the BCN heterostructure.

Opening PhD position-Spring 2021,Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, USA

Submitted by shimahajimirza on

There is a Ph.D. position ( guaranteed paid research assistant for two years ) in Energy, control, and Optimization (ECO) lab for Spring 2021 in the Mechanical Engineering department at Stevens Institute of Technology.

The project is related to the fundamental study of radiation heat transfer in thin-film nanomaterials. Prior computational knowledge and experience with heat transfer in nanomaterials are required. Being familiar with FDTD, COMSOL, MATLAB, and Optimization algorithms is a Plus.
