The primary research focus is on computational mechanics and topology optimization for multiscale and multiphysics problems of materials and structures. This is an opportunity to work in a lively team environment and advance the state of the art digital engineering for complex systems and large-scale optimization. The application areas span across aerospace, electrical systems, architected and metamaterials, multifunctional mechanical systems and batteries.
Those with research experience and interests in one of the following areas are encouraged to apply:
• Topology optimization
• Computational Fluid Dynamics
• Finite Element Analysis
• Fluid-structure interaction
• Thermo-fluid mechanics
• Mechanics of batteries
• Nonlinear Analysis
• Multiscale computational mechanics
