Ema Uskokovic didn't come from Belgrade, Serbia to El Paso with the idea of playing beach volleyball, but as soon as she was presented with the chance, she jumped at it. A standout on the indoor team, the sophomore is fairly new to the outdoor version of the sport, which is in its inaugural season at UTEP. She has teamed up with fellow Serbian Sara Pustahija to form UTEP's No. 2 beach team, and this past weekend the pair accounted for UTEP's point in a 4-1 setback to No. 18 Arizona. The Miners are off to a 3-10 start as they learn the intricacies of the sport and they head to Fort Worth for a tournament at No. 1 TCU this weekend. How has this first season of beach gone? It's been interesting, that's for sure. I feel like this semester, first we struggled to become a team because half of the team plays indoor as well. Even though a lot of people think volleyball and beach volleyball is the same because they both have volleyball in the name, it's a completely different, really new sport. Everything is new. So it's been a lot of learning, a lot of new things, but it's been a lot of fun. How much experience did you have in beach? I've actually never played beach volleyball for real. I played it for fun, but not competitively. It's a lot of learning, but a lot of fun. I finally feel like we are fully understanding what's going on. Why did you want to play it? Last spring when they announced we were going to have a beach volleyball team, coach (Ben) Wallace took us to a court by the airport. The indoor team practiced there, I thought it was a lot of fun. When they offered me the opportunity to do beach as well, I thought it was a great opportunity to do something new and something fun. What is the biggest change from indoor to beach? The biggest one? There's a lot. First is playing an outdoor sport. A lot of us forgot how it is when it's windy outside or hot or it's raining. That's a big adjustment, that and playing in sand instead of a hardwood floor. How fun is it to get to play on a team with another Serbian? It's amazing. We were talking to coach last semester about letting us play together. I feel like we've both worked really hard to get to play together. It's really, really fun. What language do you speak during games? Mostly Serbian, but it's kind of become Serb-English. It gets confusing sometimes, going back and forth. Our practices are in English, everything else in the match when we play is English. Then there will be times, 'I don't know how to say that word in Serbian or English.' But mostly Serbian. How did you end up in El Paso? (Assistant) coach Nick (Petrovic, a fellow Serbian). I met him when I was 14. He had been going to Serbia every year. He offered me a scholarship to play indoor and I thought it would be great to try something new, but also have someone from my country who will understand me if I need anything. What was it like when you first got here in 2021? Before I came here I was honestly worried, El Paso is very different from Belgrade. I didn't know how I would adjust. But so far I am loving it. I love the community, I love the people and everyone I've met. It was scary for sure. That first plane ride there were a lot of tears. But now I get excited to come back and hang out with my friends here. I love people here. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. And I love the weather. How have you grown as a player since you've been here? I think I grew a lot, especially in the mental areas of the sport. I struggled with it at first, but beach volleyball has helped me a lot. Compared to indoor there's only two of us, so if I don't move on fast, the next ball is coming right at me. I think playing beach helped me grow in that area and helped me communicate with my teammates more. I think it will help me indoor too, for sure. What is the mindset of the team? Both teams are very hard working, we put a lot of emphasis on hard work and giving it our all. Since I got here, that was the culture for the indoor team, now that's the culture for the beach team as well. That's giving us the results we're having indoor, and hopefully by the end of this year and next year it will in beach as well. What do you like better now, beach or indoor? That's a good question. For now I'm glad I get to do both. When I graduate that can be a hard decision to make. What's your favorite El Paso food? I have celiacs (disease) so I'm gluten free, I can't eat much. But there is is a gluten-free place on the East side Taco Avocat, I like to go there.

Southeastern continues writing the history books as junior high jumper Slavko Stevic competed in the NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Friday and Saturday (March 10-11). Stevic is only the second athlete in program history to travel to the indoor national championships. Coming off a record-breaking season, Stevic concluded indoor with a second-team All-American finish, ranking him 11th in the nation for men’s indoor high jump. Along with claiming the indoor conference champion title, Stevic booked his ticket to nationals after clearing 2.21m, setting a new school record. On the second day of competition, Stevic competed in the high jump at 1 p.m. Saturday starting at a height of 2.10m, clearing the bar on his first attempt. Competition continued along as Stevic made easy work of 2.15m. Head coach Micheal Rheams Jr. said, “With great support all across the board, from the school to the conference to the support staff, I can’t wait to return. We will be better prepared next year than we were this year for our first time, which is an accomplishment within itself.” The day came to a disappointing end as Stevic fell short of clearing the next height of 2.18m. “I feel great about making it to indoor nationals. That was the hardest part, and I succeeded. I had top three, basically, in my hands and I just did not grab it, but hopefully next year we will win it,” Stevic said. Stevic said he was not happy with the results but that will not discourage him from the hard work it took to get to nationals. “Being named 11th felt good, but I know I could have been better. I know for sure that for outdoors I have even more motivation now to make first-team All-America,” Stevic added. Stevic will rest and recoup to return to the track for the outdoor season’s LSU Battle on the Boot meet on Saturday March 25. The rest of the track and field squad will compete this Friday-Saturday (March 17-18) at the Louisiana Classics meet in Lafayette hosted by ULL. “He operated well and we’ll learn from this. We will continue to grow for our next big competition – Texas Relays and then we’ll return to the national stage for outdoors,” Rheams added. Track and Field’s head man was referring to the 95th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays meet, scheduled from March 29 through April 1 Wednesday-Saturday. It is one of the biggest outdoor meets in the South hosted by Texas in Austin. https://lionsroarnews.com/30229/serbian-sensation-competes-on-the-national-stage-for-slu-track-and-field/sports/

Jovana Sekulic hopped the flight to California in May with a weekend’s worth of clothes and a limited sense of what to expect. The Episcopal Academy graduate had gotten an email from United States women’s water polo coach Adam Krikorian inviting her to a training camp in Long Beach, just after her freshman year at Princeton ended. The camp consisted of two weekends, Sekulic found out upon landing. Top performers from the first weekend would join a 40-person national team camp that included many of the three-time reigning Olympic champions’ stars. Sekulic was thrilled to survive the first weekend. But with no place to stay, and her bags woefully under-packed, it set off a logistical scramble to fill her suddenly extended stay. “I was super excited,” Sekulic said last week, “but I had no idea what that meant.” Turns out, it has meant a busy year for the Media resident, meant training camps in Greece and Australia, meant her first caps for a national team that is the sport’s gold standard. Something about how she adapted on the fly in Long Beach rings true to Sekulic’s journey, as a native of Serbia having moved to the U.S. in elementary school. Very quickly, Sekulic has catapulted herself into the highest realms of American water polo. She earned All-American honors as a freshman at Princeton, with 74 goals, nine assists and 70 ejections drawn in 27 games. That brought interest from Krikorian, and she’s earned more time in subsequent performances. Her effort in Long Beach landed her on the U.S.’s de facto B team this year, a busy one in which several U.S. mainstays rehabbed injuries to prep for the Olympic stretch drive in 2024. Sekulic took advantage, getting her first game in June in a trip to Greece. She took part in fall camp before the U.S. went to the FINA World League Super Finals in Spain, but school obligations kept her stateside. This winter, she got seven official games with the U.S. She played three in a California exhibition series against Spain and Italy, scoring twice against the latter, though she departed that camp early to get back to Princeton for a final exam. She played four games in Australia, scoring twice in the opener in Perth, on a two-week trip. That camp ended on Jan. 19; she was back to the other side of the world in time for four matches Jan. 28-29 with the Tigers at the season-opening Princeton Winter Tournament. The last year has asked a lot from Sekulic. But it’s also shown what she’s capable of. “I was excited how much this process can push me,” she said. “As much as I might feel scared a little bit, I’m also excited to see where it might take me.” On the national team, Sekulic is an outsider in several respects. She and fellow Princetonian Ashley Johnson, the two-time Olympic gold medalist goalie who is regarded as the best in the world at her position and is one of the few Black players in the sport, are the only non-Californians on the roster. That presents challenges, mostly socially, to Sekulic’s adjustment. Though she’s long been in the Olympic development pipeline and has gotten to know many of her peers, it’s hardly a substitute from the highly interconnected California network centered primarily on four schools (Stanford, UCLA, USC and Cal). Breaking through those social barriers is a skill Sekulic has a lot of practice in. In the summer after fifth grade, her parents won a chance to emigrate to the United States via the State Department’s Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery. Speaking no English, she went from Belgrade to starting sixth grade in Media. Jovana had her family’s support – brother Matej is a Haverford School grad who also plays at Princeton; younger brother Luca is a senior for the Fords – but still faced myriad cultural obstacles. Water polo was her refuge then, even if it meant being the only girl in the pool at the upstart Maverick Water Polo, started by Haverford School coach Kevin Van Such. “Water polo was kind of the thing that followed me from Serbia to America, all the way through my entire life,” Sekulic said. “It was the one thing that I could hold on to. … I was the first girl there, and it was weird, because I was used to playing with girls in Serbia, but I also learned how to swim at an all-boys club with my brothers. But I didn’t let that stop me. I got in the pool and I played with these guys and it was easy – I don’t think they knew much about water polo. And having Kevin there providing us with this pool space, just having a club, it was like an escape – as an 11-year-old, to have a place where you were in your comfort zone finally.” There are similarities in that process and how Sekulic has blended with some of the world’s premier players. She’s played alongside Maggie Steffens and Maddie Musselman, who’ve accounted for the last three Olympic Most Outstanding Player awards. Their understanding in the pool transcends minor differences outside of it. Sekulic has been heartened, as a center who does the dirty work at two meters, how those outside attackers have trusted her with a steady supply of passes. Their collective excellence has shown her the new levels to unlock in her game. Sekulic’s path, through the Inter-Ac and Ivy League, presents a more genteel brand of polo, as compared to some of the Californian styles or what she encountered at home. The intensity of international competition has relieved some of the disconnects she has felt in how she approaches the sport. “In the East Coast, I always get comments of, ‘you’re too aggressive, take it down a notch,’” she said. “And then I get there and it’s like, girls are kicking me and things are happening under the water and it’s like, OK, if they can do this to me, I can do it back and it’s fine. It’s kind of like, OK I’ve found my ground and I can play all out here.” All the travel has provided Sekulic time to reflect. Her introspection is perhaps not surprising given where she goes to school, but it comes through in the measured way in which she selects her words. One of the topics she’s ruminated on it what her American status means: She’s the only one at most national team camps not born in America. Her ascent to this point was never inevitable, and its meaning is that much more conscious and profound. “This country provided me and my family with an opportunity,” she said. “It gave us a better opportunity for the future, and as much as it was hard at the beginning, I don’t think we would’ve been here. I don’t think I would’ve been at Princeton and playing water polo and doing what I love if I hadn’t moved here, if America hadn’t said yes to us. So I think in a way, it’s almost like giving back. Wearing the USA is almost like I have become a part of this country. It’s like a confirmation for me and me giving back to the country that gave me this opportunity and gave my family this opportunity.” By MATTHEW DEGEORGE | mdegeorge@delcotimes.com | The Delaware County Daily Times February 11, 2023 at 5:52 p.m. https://www.delcotimes.com/2023/02/11/for-ea-grad-jovana-sekulic-playing-for-team-usa-a-chance-to-give-back/

The Numerical Analysis group is looking for a talented and motivated PhD candidate to develop computer-aided design and analysis tools for offshore floating photovoltaics. Job description The transformation of our energy systems from fossil fuel-based to renable-based systems is calling for innovative solutions to harvest renewable energies at land, at sea and in space. Very flexible floating structures (VFFS) have been proposed to unlock the full potential of offshore floating photovoltaics. VFFS follow the wave elevation and allow for large structural deflections. Ballasting systems can prevent wind and currents from folding the leading edge. However, wrinkling is critical for the solar modules and can lead to structural collapse. The overall aim of the multi-disciplinary FlexFloat project, which is a joint effort between the Numerical Analysis group at the Delft Institute of Applied Mathematics (DIAM) and the groups Ship and Offshore Structures, and Ship Hydromechanics at the Department of Maritime and Transport Technology (MTT), is to develop efficient VFFS design tools. The task of this PhD project is to develop mathematical models and efficient computer-aided design and analysis tools for large deflection and wringling simulation of VFFS. Large deflections and wrinkling are geometrically nonlinear effects that require nonlinear fluid-structure interaction simulations (FSI). The mathematical models and simulation tools shall be developed in the context of Isogeometric Analysis, which is particularly suited for this task. The consortium has a long tradition in developing numerical simulation tools and is part of the international developer team of the open-source G+Smo (Geometry plus Simulation Modules) library, which forms the basis of this project. The PhD candidate will collaborate with other G+Smo developers in Europe as well as with the other members of the FlexFloat team at TU Delft. Requirements Basic requirements: A master’s (or master-equivalent) degree in Mathematics, Computational Science and Engineering, or a closely related field. Proficiency in written and spoken English. Specific requirements: Strong interest and competence in at least one of the following: applied mathematics, numerical analysis, geometric modelling, scientific computing. Good programming skills in C++ and the willingness to work in an interdisciplinary team is a must. Experience in Isogeometric Analysis and/or the numerical simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction problems is a bonus. Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis. For more details please check the Graduate Schools Admission Requirements. Conditions of employment Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts.
