I am looking for a highly motivated, hardworking, and bright student to fill a fully-funded MS/Ph.D. position in my research group (www.ndsu-dams.org). Candidates are expected to have a strong background in cementitious materials and concrete technology or material science. Course work or previous research experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus: Corrosion, artificial intelligence, experimental techniques, continuum mechanics, constitutive modeling, etc.

Dear Colleagues,

Designing complex architectured materials with generative adversarial networks

Yunwei Mao, Qi He, Xuanhe Zhao

The microelectronics revolution is one of the most influential drivers of current industrial developments. To probe the mechanical properties of ever shrinking materials and components, nanoindentation has come to be an omnipresent and indispensable method. In a recent combined experimental and computational approach, an international team of scientists was for the first time able to resolve the dynamic atomistic processes taking place at the elastic-plastic transition during nanoindentation.
