New positions at MSS
News
We are glad that Huzaif Rahim is our new PhD student
He will be working on „Self-Organized Structure formation in Granular Gases“, i.e., the dynamic structures in the dissipative many-particle systems, mainly by event-driven numerical simulation and/or kinetic theory.
Vasileios Angelidakis was invited to the YADE Hackathon held at TU Bergakademie in Freiberg, Saxony during 23-24 June 2022
Olfa D’Angelo was elected as chair of the next Gordon Research Seminar. She will be responsible for organising the seminar in 2024 at Stonehill College, with the help of her co-chair, Navid Hooshanginejad from Brown University.
At the Gordon Conference 2022 on Granular Matter, Olfa D’Angelo won two poster prizes: one for the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS, for young scientists) and one for the Gordon Research Conference (GRC). She was therefore invited to give a talk at the GRC.
We appreciate that Dr. Hongyi Xiao is our new Postdoc at MSS
Dr. Xiao studies the mechanics and physics of granular materials with special interests in their structure-property relations, and will extend his research to study granular problems in additive manufacturing.
Olfa D’Angelo was invited to speak about the rheology of granular fluids at the 31st Dutch Soft Matter Meeting in Delft
We are pleased that Utku Canbolat becomes our new PhD student
He will work in the field: Fractures in Granular Matter – Theory and large-scale simulations
We welcome our new Postdoc Dr. Vasileios Angelidakis
Vasileios works on two research projects (1) The further development of an open-source sequential deposition algorithm for packing generation and (2) Studying the mechanical behaviour of granular metamaterials via DEM simulations
Olfa D’Angelo was invited with her colleague Maziyar Jalaal from the University of Amsterdam to talk about 3D printing in space on the radio show Talk That Science from Echobox radio!
