I am looking for an enthusiastic Student or Postdoc who would like to enhance his/her knowledge in the field of Computational Mechanics. The focus in this three-year research project is about Modular peristaltic surface conveyor with AI based digital twin for polybags and includes the simulation of elastomer membranes by using Isogeometric Analysis and AI generated material models. The deadline for application is the 6th of February. 

The research group Mechanics of Materials and Structures at Ghent University (UGent-MMS) has 5 vacancies for PhD and postdoc research in the field of fibre-reinforced composites. The vacancies are linked to research on composite hydrogen tanks, micromechanical testing of composites and finite element modelling of textile connections. All research will be conducted with leading companies in the field.
