Two PhD positions are available immediately in Computational Mechanics & Materials.
One project (NSF grant) is about multi-phase field modeling of formation and evolution of intermetallics and oxides at high temperatures in advanced high strength steels. Another project (NSF grant) is about multi-phase field modeling of evolution of oxide bifilms in solidification of metals.
Candidates should have a master's degree in mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, solid-state physics, or applied mathematics. A background in phase field modeling and finite element modeling is desired; however, candidates with a strong background in computational fluid dynamics, MD simulations, or DFT calculations will be considered.
Requirements for admission: GRE score >301 and >3.5 AW; international students: TOEFL score >88-iBT (please don't contact me if you don't have the minimum requirements).
Please send your CV to Prof. Zaeem by email (zaeem [at] mst.edu (zaeem[at]mst[dot]edu)); your CV should include your test scores, GPA of your BS and MS, publication list, and reference list.
