PhD and PostDoc Positions: Li-ion batteries for large-scale electrochemical storage systems

Submitted by upriyank on

Li-ion batteries for large-scale electrochemical storage systems: Fundamental studies, life-prediction and optimization

This project on Li-ion batteries will focus on experimental, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulation-based approaches aimed towards managing electro-chemo-mechanical degradation, capacity fade, and power loss. Moreover, thermal management and safety aspects will be looked at for life-prediction and optimization of Li-ion batteries.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Masters and PhD Positions: Improved Barrier Performance of Polyolefin Coatings

Submitted by upriyank on

This research focuses on Modelling, Characterization and design of polymeric nano-composite coatings for Improved Oxygen Barrier Performance using, Clay Nanoplatelets, Graphene etc. and adopting Multi-scale computational modelling approach and Atomistic/Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Masters and PhD Positions: Sustainable High-Performance Thermal Barrier Coatings – An Integrated Approach

Submitted by upriyank on

This research focuses on engineering high-performance thermal barrier and protective coating systems through modelling its  deposition processes, study its manufacturing, characterize its microstructure, to feed information into multi-scale constitutive models, multi-scale modelling of its microstructure evolution and Fracture (in service) as well as experimental aspects (including In-situ SEM testing at temperature) of thin and thick film coatings to predict the system-level performance of such coating systems.

Postdoc position - nonlinear periodic structures/metamaterials

Submitted by mjleamy on

We have an exciting, two-year postdoctoral position in the general area of nonlinear acoustic metatmaterials.  We are seeking a motivated, soon to graduate PhD student, or a transitioning postdoc.  Candidates must be presently in the US.  This is a two-year NSF-funded postdoc opportunity at
Georgia Tech in the general area of nonlinear periodic structures and metamaterials. 
Details about the research are below.  An ideal candidate will have
expertise in acoustics of periodic structures/materials.  Some background
