Project Description: The anisotropic deformation response of metallic alloys is determined by the condition of the microstructure (e.g., grain size and shape, crystallographic texture, etc.) and the single crystal response. Simulations of engineering components, however, often do not consider these influences as crystal-scale simulations are computationally costly, and thus isotropic assumptions are generally employed. This project is focused on the development of reduced-order models to introduce complex crystal-scale behavior into component-scale simulations at a lower computational cost than crystal-scale simulations. Machine learning algorithms are employed to parse through simulated deformation histories of polycrystalline samples in an effort to generate novel yield criteria which are sensitive to microstructure descriptors, which can be directly embedded in component-scale simulations.

Qualifications and Requirements: Candidates must have completed or be scheduled to complete a BS or MS degree (or equivalent) in an engineering or STEM discipline (e.g., physics, mathematics). Students must be able to begin by August 1st 2021.

The candidate must have experience with programming and scripting, primarily in Python or MATLAB. Special attention will be given to candidates with programming experience in Fortran or other similar languages (C, C++, etc.).

Laboratory: The Advanced Computational Materials Engineering Laboratory (ACME Lab) employs large-scale simulations to model the deformation response of materials in an effort to determine how crystal-scale deformation processes and the microstructure of the materials influence their macroscopic behavior and properties. This is achieved primarily through the use of crystal-scale finite element simulations using the program FEPX. More information can be found at: Lab: www.acmelab.ua.edu FEPX: www.fepx.info

Contact: For more information concerning this project, please contact Dr. Matthew Kasemer directly at email mkasemer@eng.ua.edu, or telephone 814-431-9080.

Cornell Aerial Robotics Club is a team focused on building autonomous drones to compete in the International Aerial Robotics Competition. The primary purpose of the IARC is to move the state-of-the-art in aerial robotics forward through the creation of significant and useful mission challenges that are considered ‘impossible’ at the time that they are proposed. Through a collaborative and interdisciplinary effort, we strive to create both a fully autonomous drone, as well as a learning experience for the Cornell Community. We are currently seeking a Mechanical Engineer with any experience in drones, aerodynamics or robotics for next semester.

LEED is simply a sustainability scorecard for green buildings. As buildings can become LEED Certified, people can become LEED accredited! The best way to break into the sustainability space is to attain the LEED Green Associate. It also shows employers and clients you have certified knowledge in the field. Since the LEED GA exam doesn’t have a stellar pass rate, the value of the extra letters behind your name will carry even more weight.

My workshops have helped nearly 10K students and professionals learn the material cold (important for interview prep) AND clear the exam with a very high passing rate. The LEED Professional Designation has helped past participants attain internships and jobs and now is a great time to add this credential.

LEED Green Associate (GA) Training – Webinar and Online self-paced options:

I will be offering live webinars that can be streamed on any of the following dates:

The above options (1-7) are all identical.
