The Daedalus Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology (D. Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering) is recruiting a PhD student for Spring 2027.
Our group works at the intersection of fracture mechanics, experimental mechanics, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence. Current research directions include:
- Green and recycled structures for sustainable infrastructure
- Instrument development / mechanics experimentation
- Computational modeling of failure in complex materials
Candidates with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, civil engineering, materials science, or physics are encouraged to apply.
If interested reach out to Prof. Christos E. Athanasiou at c.e.athanasiou [at] gmail.com (c[dot]e[dot]athanasiou[at]gmail[dot]com) with:
- A CV
- A one-page cover letter describing your future research interests and how they align with the Daedalus Lab
- A slide deck (3–10 slides) summarizing your past research or project experience
