In a recent article in Acta Materialia ("Atom probe informed simulations of dislocation-precipitate interactions reveal the importance of local interface curvature" http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359645415002268 ) we showed how the interface curvature influences dislocation - precipitate interactions.

Two Ph.D positions are available in the field of computational modelling in the research group of Dr Parashar at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. The areas of immediate interest are

1.                  Molecular dynamics based atomistic modelling of Zr-Nb alloys. PhD candidate will work on a research project sponsored by BARC.
