Job description

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

1. Develop the numerical and analytical tools required to design these tunable random architectures and predict the mechanical behavior of the resulting metamaterials (elastic moduli, yield strength, toughness).

2. Use these tools to develop new brick-and-mortar architectures inspired by osteoderms, combining lightness, hardness, and toughness in unprecedented ways.

She/he will play a central role in directing and carrying out the above program, drawing on the ...
