Postdoctoral Position at Arizona State University

Modeling and Simulations of Fluid-Metamaterial Interactions

Position details: A postdoctoral position is available in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy at Arizona State University, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering program. The project duration is for 2 years, with an initial appointment for 12 months and the possibility for further extensions based on performance. The start date is Summer 2025 or Fall 2025 (negotiable). The applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled. See isim.asu.edu/#/positions for more information.

Project description: Efficient methods for control of turbulent flows are critical for many applications. Recent promising approaches include passive techniques such as textured surfaces and metamaterials. The goal of this project is to investigate the physical mechanisms via which fluid flows interact with metamaterials. The project involves modeling and simulation of coupled dynamics and

Survivors Can Apply for FEMA Assistance Even if Helped in the Past

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Homeowners and renters who suffered losses after the March and April severe storms are encouraged to apply for FEMA assistance even if they have received help from FEMA after past disasters.

Previous FEMA aid does not affect eligibility for assistance after the March 14-15 storms and tornadoes or the storms, tornadoes and flooding of April 2-22. Survivors affected by both disasters are encouraged to file a separate FEMA application for each disaster.

Survivors in Greene, Hot Spring, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Randolph, Sharp and Stone counties may now apply if they had damage in March. Additionally, those affected by the April storms in Clark, Clay, Craighead, Crittenden, Desha, Fulton, Hot Spring, Jackson, Miller, Ouachita, Pulaski, Randolph, Saline, Sharp, St. Francis and White counties may also apply.

Disaster assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help residents and business owners recover from the impacts of the disaster.

Residents with homeowners’ or renters’ insurance are encouraged to file a claim as soon as possible with their insurance carrier. By law, FEMA cannot provide funding for losses covered by your insurance. If your policy does not cover all disaster expenses, a survivor may then be eligible for federal assistance. 

There are several ways to apply for FEMA disaster assistance. Go to DisasterAssistance.gov, use the FEMA App

U.S. renewable diesel production and biodiesel production declined in 1Q25

In-brief analysis

June 4, 2025

U.S. production of renewable diesel and biodiesel fell sharply in the first quarter of 2025 (1Q25) because of uncertainty related to federal biofuel tax credits and negative profit margins. We forecast production of both fuels to increase as the year progresses but biodiesel production to remain less than in 2024.

Renewable diesel and biodiesel are biomass-based diesel fuels that can replace petroleum-based distillate and be used to comply with renewable volume obligations in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Renewable diesel can be used in diesel engines in any concentration because it is chemically equivalent to petroleum-based distillate fuel, and biodiesel is typically blended with petroleum distillate at concentrations of 20% or less for vehicle consumption because of some chemical differences.

In January 2025,
