Abstract

Mechanical Engineering Instructor (Mechanics/Structural Dynamics)

Location:  University, MS, US, 38677

Department:  Mechanical Engineering (10000925)

Employee Designation:  Regular Full-time (Benefits Eligible)

Position Description 

One fully funded Ph.D. position Starting 2020 Fall in YIN group at NCSU

The research program will focus on soft robotics and mechanical metamaterials. The research will involve a combination of experiments (3D printing, mechanical testing, materials synthesis, and fabrication etc), analytical modeling, and numerical simulation methods (mainly finite element method).

We report a manufacturing technology, called conformal additive stamp (CAS) printing and show that it can be used to reliably manufacture electronic devices with 3D shapes. Our CAS printing approach employs a pneumatically inflated elastomeric balloon as a conformal stamping medium to pick up pre-fabricated electronic devices and print them onto 3D surfaces to create devices with curvy shapes including electrically small antennas, hemispherical solar cells and smart contact lenses.

We have multiple tenure track faculty openings in mechanics of materials and structures at the Georgia Tech School of Aerospace Engineering. To receive full consideration please apply by November 1^st, 2019.
