Two openings for Master/Ph.D. studentship are now repost for January, 2013 in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba in the field of computational materials science. Students with a strong background/intrest in materials simulation (atomistic, e.g., Ab initio, MD or Monte Carlo, or mesoscale phase field simulations) are encouraged to apply. The potential students will work on one or more of the following projects: (1) solute effects on grain boundary diffusion/mobility; (2) microplasticity in metallic glass and nanocomposite; (3) plasticity in nanowires and nanocrystalline metals/alloys. Interested students please send your CV and inquires to Prof. Deng (dengc [at] cc.umanitoba.ca).
