There is a Ph.D. opening in my research group in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Houston to be filled the fall semester of 2021.
The research topic is modeling the deformation and fracture response of dissipative material systems.
Two PhD positions are available within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio for Summer or Fall 2021 in the area of injury biomechanics research focused on traumatic brain injury and computational modeling.
The overall goal of this research, headed by Dr. Marzieh Memar, is to integrate computational and experimental techniques to unfold mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury (TBI).
HetSys is a recently established EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) which trains people to challenge current state-of-the-art in computational modelling of heterogeneous, real-world systems across a range of research themes which this year include nanoscale devices, superalloys, laser-plasma interactions etc and future medicines.
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work on Computational Solid Mechanics, with focus on Cell Adhesion and Mechanobiology. The project is in collaboration with experimental biologists and biophysicists located at UBC and other international laboratories. It will involve the use analytical tools in Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics (e.g. Statistical Mechanics), and computational tools such as Finite Element Analysis. The goal will be to derive important scaling laws to understand the mechanical behavior of Biological Cells under different processes such as Motility, Differentiation and Mitosis.
The project “Computational mechanics and optimisation for energy absorption of materials” is calling for applications for PhD scholarship commencing in 2021. This project is funded by the Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Candidates with knowledge and research experience in computational mechanics, design optimisation and machine learning are encouraged to apply.
Project description:
An immediate postdoc position is open in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama on multiscale modeling of materials and processes.
The use of 3D printed metal structures is taking a very fast ramp-up in industry. General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing is printing plastic inlet ducts for high-altitude aircrafts, hip implants and other prosthetics are exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM),...
A PhD position is available as early as Fall, 2021 in Dr. Ning Zhang’s group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa). This position is in the general area of mechanics, structural and multifunctional materials with focus on mechanical and thermal properties.
The research topics include:
(1) Hypersonic flight materials;
(2) 2D materials;
(3) Shape memory ceramics/alloys;
(4) High entropy alloys;
(5) Biomaterials.
The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (http://mie.njit.edu) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (http://www.njit.edu) has an opening for the fully funded Ph.D. position. The position will start in Fall 2021 (September 2021). Interested candidates should apply as soon as possible.
Research Description: The selected student will primarily work on Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics. He/she will be primarily involved in different projects such as:
