Let me know if you are interested before 20th March 2019, I could act as a host.

The Nanomechanics Simulations Laboratory at the Technion (Haifa, Israel) is seeking applicants for a computational study on nucleation-controlled plasticity. Immediate openings are available for Ph.D. students in several projects. In these projects, you will develop models for the strength of specimens at the nanoscale, to account for the effect of temperature and lattice defects on the nucleation-controlled strength.

3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies carry the promise of revolutionizing the quality and efficiency of healthcare. However, the required technologies, even when available, are currently too fragmented to be integrated into routine, affordable and streamlined solutions that can benefit a large number of patients. The challenge thereby is to deliver 3D printing technologies that enable:
