Journal Club Theme of November 2014: Catalyzed Growth of Semiconductor Nanowires - Multiscale Models
Introduction
Happy Halloween!
In this issue of the Journal Club, I would like to introduce the problem of catalyzed growth of semiconductor nanowires and ways to model it. I would provide web links to only a few articles, hoping that you would download and actually read them so that we can have a more in-depth discussion.
Postdoctoral Scholar Position (kidanea@cec.sc.edu)
The dynamic behavior and multifunctional laboratory at the University of South Carolina is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar to be filled as soon as possible. Successful applicants have had a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Applicant should describe innovative fundamental research in the mechanical engineering related to experimental Mechanics. Examples include but are not limited to high strain properties of materials, digital image correlation, inverse methods.
Newmark Lecture 2014
Dear Colleagues,
Prof. Ole Sigmund from the Technical University at Denmark: http://www.topopt.dtu.dk/ was the presenter of the 2014-2015 Newmark Distingusihed Lecture which was given in the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. His presentation was titled: Topology Optimization: State of the art and future perspectives. You may find a link to the video lecture here
