Stephane Bordas's blog

We are interested in making contact with self-motivated candidates with significant experience in multiscale simulation, if possible with a Physics or Mathematics background for projects involving the simulation of multiscale fracture. Researchers with experience in ab initio models are particularly encouraged to make contact.

Please contact stephane dot bordas at gmail dot COM for more detail.

 Thank you

Stephane   

A PhD position is available at Centre Henri Tudor (Luxembourg) and Cardiff University (UK) on the simulation of crack propagation with adaptive extended finite element methods.

Candidates from any country are eligible. 

Please contact me for details.
