Interfacial Dissipative Phenomena in Tribomechanical Systems
Dear Colleagues,
In the last twenty years, tribology and nonlinear dynamics have included several major contributions related to key topics such as rough contact, friction, damping mechanisms, and dynamical behaviour of nonlinear systems, which are paving the way for future engineering challenges. The two fields are largely intertwined as, among the others, contact nonlinearities are almost omnipresent in any technical application ranging from the development of NEMS/MEMS to bioengineering, automotive, civil/mechanical industry, and aerospace.
USACM Virtual Seminar by John Evans, UC Boulder

We have a number of seats available to anyone interested. We just ask attendees to register at this page:
Postdoc position in nanomaterial simulation
A postdoc position is available in the area of computational polymeric nanomaterials in Dr. Jihong Ma's group (https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/jihong-ma-group/home) at the University of Vermont starting September or October 2020. This project will involve close collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Deformation Mechanisms in Gold Nanoporous
Our recent work on nanoporous gold addresses defrmation mechanisms in nanoporous gold through molecular dynamics simulations, proposing the use of load transfer between nanopores for biosensing applications.

Honeycomb Nanoporous Silicon with Magic Properties
Our recent study through molecular dynamics simulations represents a new approach to improve the mechanical behaviour of nanoporous silicon through controlling the pore shape. In this work, a high strength and ductile structure is obtained for honeycomb nanoporous strucutres.
Ph.D. openings at Drexel MSE: DFT-based multi-scale modeling and machine learning
Dr. Yong-Jie Hu’s research group in the department of materials science and engineering at Drexel University (https://drexel.edu/, Philadelphia, USA) is looking for motivated Ph.D. students starting in January 2021 or September 2021. The successful candidates will receive research assistantships with full financial support. We encourage applications from highly self-motivated students with a keen interest in applying state-of-art materials simulation tools and data-science techniques to advance the design of new materials.
