PhD position in Computational Fracture Mechanics of porous media at Imperial College London (UK applicants only)

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on

Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with the University of Cambridge, with the student being supervised by Dr ​​​​Emilio Martínez Pañeda (main supervisor), Prof Catherine O'Sullivan (Imperial College) and Prof Norman Fleck FRS FREng (University of Cambridge). 

The project aims at developing new theoretical and computational micromechanics-based models for rocks and porous media. More details of the project are given here:
