https://doi.org/10.1039/D0TB00896F It is my privilege and honor to be highlighted as the Journal of Material Chemistry B's Emerging Investigators for 2020. Together with our group's young budding scientists, Chenxi Zhai, Tianjiao Li, and Haoyuan Shi, we review the discovery and design of next-generation bio-inspired materials by harnessing the virtual space in materials design: materials omics (materiomics), materials informatics, computational modelling and simulations, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data.

A PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London, on the topic of "Detection and Identification of Damage in Composite Fibre/Metal Laminate Structures Using Guided Ultrasonic Waves". It is fully funded (fees + stipend) for UK citizens and EU citizens with UK residency (fees only for international students).

The academic group at UCL has an internationally leading profile and an exceptional publication record, and this project will provide numerous opportunities for high-profile publications and conference presentations. The project involves considerable interaction with other members of the research group, which has a very open, co-operative and friendly culture. The UCL laboratories are very well resourced with equipment, computers, consumables and all that is needed to perform research at the highest standard. The aim is to provide the best conditions for world-leading research.

The students will also work with the Institute for Predictive Performance Methodology (IPPM) at the University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute (UTARI). Self-motivated individuals who have research experience in one or more of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply for the Ph.D. positions. 

Assistant Professor position in Structural Mechanics at DICCA - University of Genoa (Italy)

The DICCA - Department of Civil, Chemical and Environmental Engineering of the University of Genova, Italy is launching new research lines in the field of Solid and Structural Mechanics (ICAR08 – Scienza delle Costruzioni). In view of the forthcoming opening of a fixed-term position (3-years extendable to 5) of Assistant Professor (RTDA – Ricercatore a Tempo determinato (A)), the Department invites expressions of interest from qualified scholars.

The USACM has established a virtual seminar series that will run for six weeks over the course of this summer.  Exact dates and times will vary each week, but a full listing of the speakers is available here:
