Dear Sir
My name is Abhishek Saini and I am from Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IITP), India, in my final year of masters in Mechatronics Engineering (Department of Mechanical Engineering) with focus on Dielectric elastomer research. It is expected to complete on May 2016.
My current research project for my master’s program is in “Dielectric elastomer actuator for microfluidic application” and I have just submitted a co-authored article which was accepted by Journal of Mechanical Science and technology, another conference was also accepted in SPIE 2016. I am highly interested in building upon my master’s experience and expanding my research into related areas.
I wish to begin a PhD program in Dielectric elastomers and its application in 2016 and would be very interested in working under your supervision.
Please tell me about the PhD admission deadline and admission criteria

Hi Dr. Suo

Dear Dr. Suo,

I appreciate your kindly posting valuable informaiton on studying in Harvard significantly. My PHD dissertation is on contact mechanics of piezoelectric materials. I am focusing on finite element analysis using ABAQUS now. Will you consider me as a post-doc in Harvard? Some of my works are listed below. More will come in the near future.

Hello Zhigang Suo,

I want to know what is the procedure for getting admission for Phd as i am from India its asian country, I Have Master of Technology Degree in Machine Design, and i have interest on Solid Mechanics, Fracture Mechanics, and in Viberation.

Is there any need of TOFEL or GRE score card?

Hi: I have not worked in the area you've mentioned. But many areas of theoretical mechanics are interconnected. Skills picked in doing one project will be useful in doing other projects.

Each year we have a large number of applicants, but we only have space to admit a small fraction of applicants. The admission is done on a competitive basis.

Hello Sir,

The thread is much more than just useful which prompted me to write in to you.

I will be completing my master's this year and is enthusiastically in search of researchers who are working in theoretical aspect of solid mechanics. What I learn till now is that this field is gradually becoming saturated, though there might be areas that are yet untapped. Do correct me if I am wrong. Sir, my master's thesis focuses on studying the effect of nonlocal elasticity to predict the vibrational mechanics in single-walled carbon nanotubes (cylinder and sphere).

Please let me know of any oppurtunity for me to work on theoretical area at Harvard.

IIT Kanpur (India)

We only accept applications for admission in the Fall.

Dear Prof.Suo,

Can I apply for PhD Program at Harvard for the term Spring 2013 ?

Thank you,

Harsha

If you are certain of your area of reserch, and no position in the area is available at Harvard, then you should look elsewhere. If you think that you might also be intereted in other areas of reserch, then maybe you should take a look at activities in other groups at Harvard. For example, have you looked at the Rob Wood Group and the Rob Howe group?

Dear Professor Suo,

I am currently a graduate student majoring in
Aerospace Engineering at the University of Southern California. I am
considering applying to Harvard University’s Ph.D. program in Mechanical
Engineering (Fall 2012).

My research interests lie at the
intersections between fluid mechanics, robotics, and biological locomotion. There is a particular professor at Harvard
SEAS with whom I would like to ideally study as a Ph.D. student. However, I
recently found out that he is currently not accepting graduate students. In
this case, do you think it would be better for me to apply elsewhere? Any
suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely,

Kyohei Onoue

Thank you Dr. Suo for your reply

You might wish to look at the interests of individual faculty members online. Your expereince in continuum mechanics and mathematics should be valuable.

You have just listed very impressive acomplishments. The admission at Harvard is done at the level of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. It is difficult to judge the chance of an individual candidate without comparing to the pool of the candidates.

Yes, you can apply to the PhD program without a master degree.

I am Sri Harsha T R, currently in my final year of study of the Bachelors of Technology in Mechanical Engineering with Industrial & Production Engineering as Major. My college is Koneru Lakshmaiah College of Engineering (www.klce.ac.in) in India. I will be completing my degree in May 2012.

I have done many govt funded research projects in vast areas such as Biofuels form vegetable oils, algae. crash analysis in LS DYNA, CFD analysis in FLUENT, LMS Virtual.Lab, Projects in the field of Solid Mechanics, Finite Element methods, manufacturing, Production planning, inventory management, supply chain management, JIT production technique etc. I also have knowledge of different software’s such as Altair Hyperworks, Ansys, Pro-Engineer, Catia, LABVIEW. Also programming languages such as C,C++, Microsoft Visual Basic.

I want to apply for PhD. Can you suggest how well do I stand a chance ? Also can I apply to PhD programs directly after my bachelors degree without Masters ?

Dear Dr. Suo,

I am a senior student, and I have worked on CNT Composites and I have a good background in continuum mechanics and mathematics and also because I have worked on polymers and shape memory alloys I have a good knowledge about viscoelasticity.

Is there any Ph.D. position available regarding my interests?

Thank you in advance

You may try to contact professors whom you wish to work with. Some advertisements are available, for example, at the Job Channel of iMechanica. You should also ask your professors for recommendation. It takes some work to find a good match.

It is not too early to contact professors now. Since each professor may recieve a large number of emails from prospective students, such emails will get lost. You may consider contacting the professor again once you have applied.

Dear sir

I am doing phd from IITK (India).My branch is Mechanical Engineering (Solid Mechanics) and I am working on Contact Mechanics and my work is related to adhesive elastic thin film.I am using FEM software (abaqus ) and matlab for computational work and wants to do post doc related to my field (experimental ) .Can you suggest me how to apply for Post doc and Professor related to my work.

Hi Dr. Suo,

I am a masters student at University of Cincinnati. I am working with Dr. Yijun Liu to model tree leaf and understand their mechanics. I have a keen interest in modeling and simulation of solids and structures. I am planning to apply at Harvard for Fall 2012 for PhD. Do you think it is too early to contact the professors (who's research interest match mine) to discuss the opportunities of PhD studentship?

Thanks,

Sameeul Samee

We do not have any professors at Harvard working directly on high-strength steels or sheet metal forming. However, the following professors are in the general areas of the mechanical behavior of materials:

• David R. Clarke
• Frans Spaepen
• Joost J. Vlassak
