NSF NRT fellowships at Stony Brook University

Submitted by kedarkirane on

NSF funded NRT Fellowship is available for eligible students at Stony Brook University, in the field of Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic Structures (QuADS!).  It supports select students performing research in the area of materials characterization. This prestigious one-year fellowship will provide

- An annual stipend of $34,000 during Year 2 of your Ph.D. (So you can apply for your PhD now to SBU, and then, to this fellowship for your second year) 

A tutorial on the electrostatics of deformable materials with a focus on stability and bifurcation analysis

Submitted by Pradeep Sharma on

The attached tutorial paper is yet unpublished but I am posting a pre-print since several students I know have found it to be a useful pedagogical resource. You may also access the document on arXiv.

Here is the abstract.
