Themes are:

1. Biological Materials

A PhD scholarship is available at Paris Institute of Technology (ParisTech) to work on the computational mechanics of crystalline polymers.

See the file attached for description.

This project is conducted in collaboration with the Centre for Molecular and Macromolecular Studies / Polish Academy of Sciences in Lodz, Poland.

Multiscale material design group  in SUNY at StonyBrook is looking for two qualified candidates pursuing PhD degree starting in Fall 2015.

One position is on multi-scale simulations ( use MD, FEA) and conducting experiments on progressive failure on compoistes materials

Applicants should have a strong background in mechanics and good programming skills. A keen interest in  pursuing knowledge on science is essential.
