Title: Managing Uncertainty and Credibility Assessments for Epidemiology Exascale Agent Based Models
We have a new, slightly different perspective on the basis of size-dependent, finite-deformation crystal plasticity. If you are interested and have time to check it out, I’ll be happy to discuss it:
Many xeric plant leaves exhibit bending and twisting morphology, which may contribute to their important biological and physical functions adapted to drought and desert conditions. Revealing the relationships between various morphologies and functionalities can inspire device designs for meeting increasingly stringent environmental requirements.
I am looking to recruit a highly motivated an independent postdoctoral researcher to study, using theoretical and computational techniques, topics related to the dynamics of metamaterials, with specific interest in topological insulators. The position is available immediately, available for at least 1.5 years.

Title: A micromechanical model of fracture in piezoelectric composites using a cohesive-zone phase field approach
Authors: Abhishek Arora, Benjamin M. Ward, Caglar Oskay
A PhD opening is available in my group, focusing on the development and testing of machine learning potentials for multi-component systems, with focus on predicting dislocation plasticity and grain boundary mechanics in green steels. Motivated candidates with a strong mechanics background are warmly encouraged to apply.

Prof. Oreste Bursi, Full Professor at the University of Trento (Italy) and Dr. Davide Noè Gorini, Assistant Professor at the University of Trento, are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join their research group on Hazard protection of Civil Engineering Structures.
Biological tissues with core–shell structures usually exhibit non-uniform curvatures such as toroidal geometry presenting interesting features containing positive, zero, and negative Gaussian curvatures within one system, which give rise to intriguing instability patterns distinct from those observed on uniformly curved surfaces. Such varying curvatures would dramatically affect the growing morphogenesis.
