Looking for a postdoc in mechanics of granular materials

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a postdoc in mechanics of granular materials.

I’m currently a postdoc at INRIA Grenoble, France (National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control). My principal research interests focus on granular materials. They include (1) computational mechanics, (2) numerical modeling and simulation with DEM, (3) multi-scale approach and homogenization technique and (4) shock dynamics and nonlinear wave propagation. Here are my three principal publications:

[1] Nguyen N.S., Brogliato B.: Shock dynamics in granular chains: numerical simulations and comparison with experimental tests. Granular Matter, 14(3), pp. 341--362, 2012

[2] Nguyen N.S., Magoariec H., Cambou B.: Local stress analysis in granular materials at a meso-scale. International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, DOI: 10.1002/nag.1063, 2011.

[3] Nguyen N.S., Magoariec H., Cambou B., Danescu A.: Analysis of structure and strain at the meso-scale in 2D granular materials. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 46(17), pp. 3257--3271, 2009.

I attached my CV to provide additional information on my skills and experience.

Please inform me if you have or you know some postdoctoral positions available in mechanics of granular materials. I can be reached anytime via email at ngocson.nguyen@inria.fr or by phone at +33 6 37 32 75 25.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Ngoc-Son Nguyen
