Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science at Toronto Metropolitan University’s Post

PolyU has achieved remarkable results in the World’s Top 2% Most-cited Scientists 2024 lists, according to the latest rankings compiled by Stanford University. Notably, 232 scholars were included based on their career-long citation impact. Based on career-long citation impact, PolyU stands out globally with the largest representation of top scholars in the sub-field of Building and Construction. It also demonstrates the strongest research performance in Hong Kong with the largest representation of top scholars across 12 sub-fields. Beyond Building and Construction, the University leads locally with the most top scholars in Materials, Energy, Civil Engineering, Operations Research, Optoelectronics and Photonics, Nursing, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Logistics and Transportation, Mechanical Engineering and Transports, Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences, and Rehabilitation. In addition, 17 PolyU academics are placed within the top 50 worldwide in their respective sub-fields and this represents the highest number of top-ranked scholars among universities in Hong Kong. The World’s Top 2% Most-cited Scientists compiled by Stanford University is divided into two lists, based on scholars’ career-long (1960-2023) and single-year (2023) impact, recognising their lifetime achievement and recent research impact respectively. Combining the scholars named for their career-long and single-year citation impact, a total of 355 PolyU scholars were recognised. The international recognition is a testament to the University’s research excellence and its commitment in driving research innovation for societal impact.

💸 #PhD scholarship in #Milan 🌍 Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca ⏰ Deadline: 14th May!!! "The #mechanics of large #creeping #rockslides: #experimental and #numerical #modeling of hydro-mechanical interactions in basal shear zones" Large #rockslides evolve by progressive rock failure and strain localization in basal shear zones, with a time-dependent macroscale behavior (“#creep”) anticipating catastrophic collapse. Nonetheless, existing forecasting and Early Warning approaches are often based on empirical descriptions of observed creep styles not accounting for the microscale physical processes governing the transition to collapse. In particular, hydro-mechanical interactions in basal shear zones and their sensitivity to hydrological forcing, especially in climate change scenarios, remain elusive. This PhD project will explore the effects of mineralogy and evolving texture on the magnitude, timing, and velocity dependence of rockslide shear zone response to stress and pore pressure perturbations. To this end, innovative laboratory creep #experiments on natural shear zone materials will be combined with state-of-art constitutive and numerical techniques) e.g. #PFEM, #MPM), able to model large deformation and strain localization. We seek a candidate with an #engineering #geological #background, motivated to work in a multi- disciplinary team with strong geological, geotechnical, and computational expertise. The research will be carried out in collaboration with Sapienza Università di Roma (Rock Mechanics and Earthquake Physics Lab) and the Universidad de los Andes (Chile), where the PhD student will spend a research period.   Supervisor: Prof. Federico Agliardi (federico.agliardi@unimib.it) Co-supervisor: Prof. Matteo Oryem Ciantia (matteo.ciantia@unimib.it)   Useful links: https://lnkd.in/eexc8Dgz Feel free to contact us!
