Opening for new Ph.D. students in the Computational Mechanics group, The University of Iowa

The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman,
is looking for new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing
high-quality research on reliability-based design optimization.  The research, supported
by NSF and others, entails developing new theory and efficient algorithms for stochastic
computing and design optimization. A solid background in mechanics and elementary
numerical analysis is a must; some exposure to uncertainty and probabilistic methods is
desirable.

If you are interested in pursuing Ph.D. at Iowa, please contact:  Professor S. Rahman at
rahman@engineering.uiowa.edu.  We are interested in students who already have MS degrees
in engineering or mathematics.  The desired start date is Fall 2010.
