There are immediate openings for PhD students (Spring/Fall 2024) in the Aerospace Structures Reliability Laboratory at Auburn University, working with Dr. Wen Luo.
Ballistic protection concerns apparel, vests, armors, helmets and structural reinforcement for vehicles as well.
We are looking for a PhD student for a research project on microscale mechanical characterization of fiber reinforced polymer composites using in-situ microscopic techniques. Much more fundamental insights and measurements at the micro-scale are necessary to enable fully predictive multi-scale modelling and faster adaptation of composites. Therefore, we have developed advanced micromechanical test methods for fibre reinforced polymer composites based on in-situ optical and electron microscopy during loading.
We are seeking a dedicated postdoc on advanced material modelling in the textile domain. In this project you will dive deep into a cutting-edge research area, exploring the complexities of advanced textile material modelling. You will be part of a team of 4 researchers (3 PhDs and one postdoc) who will all work on this large research project. The postdoctoral researcher is also expected to support the 3 PhD students and act as a mentor and tutor for them.

New PhD position is immediately available at Tribology and Surface Mechanics lab for Spring/Summer 2024. Candidates with strong mechanical engineering background in solid mechanics and analytical works are encouraged to apply. Master degree is required. Experience with FEM software is a must. Experience with ABAQUS is preferred. Knowledge on soft polymers mechanical behavior is also preferred, but not required. Priority will be given to those who are already in the US.
