Assistant professor with expertise in computational modeling of material behavior at multiple length scales

We are seeking an assistant professor with expertise in computational modeling of material behavior at multiple length scales, to join the research team of the  SunRise FIS 2023 Project. This role focuses on developing and validation of advanced numerical models to simulate the mechanical performance, failure and crack propagation mechanisms, and residual stress effects in 3D-printed nano- and micro-structured materials and coatings.

The research will address complex problems in contact mechanics, fracture mechanics, and stress distribution in heterogeneous nano-architected materials. The position involves the use of finite element modeling (FEM) tools, including cohesive element modeling and phase-field modeling, to investigate material behavior under various loading and environmental conditions, as well as interaction and cooperation with the experimental tasks for validation.

The successful candidate will play a key role in developing and validating computational tools to predict load-bearing capacity, failure modes, and interface reliability in coated 3D structures.
