We are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow who has experience with developing and implementing computational algorithms for simulation and optimization in structural mechanics.
He or she will be involved in an interdisciplinary project for the development of a computational framework for the design of functional, smart, performance textiles. The objective is to develop and implement novel computational algorithms for a multi-scale and multi-physics simulation of functional textiles and fabrics, which will be at the core of a multifunctional design optimization framework. The position requires a deep understanding of structural mechanics concepts, as well as experience in algorithm development for computational simulation and optimization.
We are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow who has experience with developing and implementing computational algorithms for geometry processing.
He or she will be involved in the interdisciplinary development of an enhanced computational design, optimization, and fabrication framework for functional textiles. The objective is to develop and implement novel computational algorithms for the physical realization of complex three dimensional (3D) technical textile designs using state-of-the-art CNC knitting technology.
The position requires expertise in computational geometry and software development. The candidate must be passionate about interdisciplinary, cutting-edge research and have good communicative skills.
We are looking for a research assistant who is interested in developing and implementing computational algorithms for simulation and optimization in structural mechanics applications.
Our current research lies broadly in the field of computational mechanics and includes the development and implementation of novel computational methods for the discretization of ordinary and partial differential equations arising in structural and continuum mechanics (such as finite element methods and isogeometric analysis), multi-disciplinary design, shape and topology optimization methods, as well as application of those methods in digital design and additive manufacturing, e.g. 3D/4D printing, lattice structures, metamaterials, composites or textiles, and integration into computer-aided design-to-manufacturing approaches.
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the symposium on “Track IX-B: Mechanics of 3D Printed Materials and Structures” at the 54th Annual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science (SES) to be held from July 25 to July 28, 2017 at Northeastern University in Boston, MA.
The PIMM lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work in a joint project with CNES (French space agency), on the design of architectured materials through additive manufacturing.
