Dear all,

I'm currently achieving a Mines ParisTech post-master degree in computational mechanics at the Center for Metal Forming (CEMEF) in France. I'm looking to a career in computational mechanics software development. To reach this goal, I'm looking out for a PhD in this field. I'm more interested in numerical methods (software engineering) than in rheologic approach of materials. Remeshing methods, crack growth modeling, crash analysis, parallel computing or multidisciplinary optimization are attractive fields I would be motivated to work on.

You'll find my CV as attached file.

Feel free to contact me for any further information you might require or for talking over a PhD study which you seem to be able to interest me.

Best regards

I am strongly interested in developing, leading and promoting multidisciplinary applied research within the scope of advanced materials and manufacturing applications. One particular interest would be the development of a framework for research bridging between areas of engineering such as materials science, mechanical, and environmental engineering, combining fundamental, experimental and computer modeling analyses. I am immediately available and my extended multidisciplinary achievements, expertise and background are emphasized in my CV on-line:http://azzoconsulting.tripod.com/CVAzzO.pdf
