Two PhD openings in Multiscale Mechanics and Materials Design at Baylor University

Two fully funded PhD positions are available as early as Spring, 2024 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s research group at the Baylor University. The research work will focus on the mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of structural and multifunctional materials.

The research topics include:

(1)   Polymer composites;

(2)   Medium/High entropy alloys;

(3)   High entropy ceramics;

(4)   Biomaterials;

(5)   Machine learning.

We are always looking for highly self-motivated students with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, materials science, engineering mechanics, solid mechanics, civil engineering or related areas. Our group conducts multiscale computational modeling including first principle calculations (e.g., DFT), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, coarse-grained MD simulations, and concurrent atomistic-continuum (CAC) simulations, as well as experimental studies.

Interested applicants, please send an email to Dr. Ning Zhang at ning_zhang@baylor.edu with your CV, and TOEFL scores if applicable. This position is available immediately.
