We are looking for one PhD candidate within the field of Hydrogen-Embrittlement. The position is a part of a researcher project "Hydrogen-induced degradation of offshore steels in ageing infrastructure - models for prevention and prediction (HIPP)" financed by PETROMAKS II program of The Research Council of Norway.
This research focuses on Modelling, and Computational Material design of Composite materials.
Candidate will have a Masters Degree in computational solid mechanics with substantial experience in the
application and development of finite element code. Previous experience in applied mathematical modelling is essential.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Please contact Dr. Kumar Shanmugam(kshanmugam [at] masdar.ac.ae (kshanmugam[at]masdar[dot]ac[dot]ae)) for further enquiries.
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.
Carbon Nano-Structured Materials for Aerospace Applications: From Characterization & Multi-scale Modelling to Product Realization- A Holistic Approach
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.
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
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston (UH), Cullen College of Engineering seeks a highly motivated and creative person for a faculty position to build a world-class research program on semiconductor device manufacturing and mechanics with emphasis on energy applications. Flexible electronics manufacturing is another area of interest. The University of Houston has recently made a significant investment to establish a 74-acre Energy Research Park (ERP) and has now established a 13,000 sq.ft. state-of-the-art Energy Devices Fabrication Laboratory in the Park.
