PhD position in computational mechanics at University of Maryland Baltimore County

I am looking for a highly motivated student with a background in Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, Materials science, or related fields for a fully funded PhD position in my group in the mechanical engineering department at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).

Successful applicants should have strong interests and relevant skills in at least one of the following areas:

- High performance computing and reduced-order modeling techniques (Proper Generalized Decomposition, Hyper Reduction, etc.)

- Finite element methods (convolution finite element, isogeometric analysis, etc.)

- Multi-scale modeling and design of 3D printed materials

- Phase-field models for microstructure evolution

- Scientific machine learning and data-driven methods

- Multi-physics simulations for advanced and additive manufacturing

- Fracture mechanics

For application, please send your CV and official academic transcripts (in a combined PDF) to Dr. Lu at yelu@umbc.edu
