The IRDS analytics lab (https://alouhghalam.sites.umassd.edu) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMassD) has a fully-funded PhD position. The graduate student will be working on an exciting project related to the dynamics of locally resonant structures and machine learning techniques with application to source localization. This position will involve working closely with a multidisciplinary team from UMassD, UMass Lowell and NUWC. Applicants must have earned a degree in Mechanical or Civil Engineering or a closely related field (candidates with a Master’s degree will be given priority) and have a solid background in theoretical and computational mechanics. The knowledge of computational mechanics, finite element modeling, programming and data analytics is a plus.
The applicants should send the following material to alouhghalam [at] umassd.edu (alouhghalam[at]umassd[dot]edu) and put “PhD applicant” as subject of the email.
1- Cover letter
