PhD position in scientific machine learning for additive manufacturing at Worcester Polytechnic Institute

job#PhD # Scientific Machine learning # Metal Additive Manufacturing # Architected Materials # Robotic Materials

A fully-funded Ph.D. position is available in the lab of smart manufacturing and smart materials at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the area of scientific machine learning and additive manufacturing. Our research concentrates on the development of physics-constrained machine learning and its application for functional materials design, and multiscale and multiphysics modeling for AM.

Required Qualifications:

·        A B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or a related field. M.S. with project experience is a plus.

·        Broad Knowledge in machine learning, computational mechanics, topology optimization, and metal AM.

·        Skills in Pytorch, Tensorflow, C/C++, and MATLAB. Experience in MPI/OpenMP and CUDA is a plus.

These positions will be filled in Fall 2023. Interested candidates should send a cover letter with a summary of research interests and skills, CV, and publications (if applicable) to Dr. Lin Cheng by email (lcheng@wpi.edu), with the subject line “Ph.D. Application –[Name]”. Evaluation of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the openings are filled.
