Call for Abstracts (Deadline: December 15, 2011)

As a part of ECCOMAS 2012 (European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering)

Submit your Abstract (Choose mini-symposium MS114)

There are TEN openings for postdoctoral positions in the Center for Nano and Micro Mechanics (CNMM) at Tsinghua University. The Center is an interdisciplinary innovation center supported by Tsinghua University, with specially focused interests in nanomaterials, nanodevices, nano-enabled energy and environmental applications. More details about the faculties and research area can be found at http://cnmm.tsinghua.edu.cn.

A Center for Combustion Energy has been established at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.

The need for such a center is motivated by the central role that combustion plays in energy sustainability and climate change,

 by the emergence of China as a major industrialized nation and her commitment to seek solutions to these global problems,

and by the potential that combustion can contribute to the advance of diverse disciplines of frontier science that involve reacting flows.
