A PhD position is available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The position is in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids, with emphasis on mechanical and elastic metamaterials and wave physics.
Current topics of interest include:
1) Topological metamaterials
2) Tunable and programmable metastructures
3) Mechanics of multilayer lattices
4) Multiphysical interactions of vibrating metastructures
The research will involve a combination of theoretical, computational and experimental work, providing the students with a complete and holistic training and a diverse research experience.
The ideal candidate is a highly motivated and creative individual with background in engineering, physics, materials science or mathematics, solid foundations in mechanics, coding experience and strong communication skills.
The position is expected to start in the fall of 2024.
Applicants should submit a resume (indicating names and contact of references) via email to Prof. Stefano Gonella at sgonella [at] umn.edu.
Qualified candidates will be contacted to schedule a follow-up interview (e.g., Zoom or Skype) and encouraged to submit a formal application to the PhD program.
