Postdoc openings in modeling of additive manufacturing at the National University of Singapore

Dr. Wentao Yan's group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore, focuses on metal additive manufacturing: computational modeling, experimental validation and data analytics.

There are openings for postdoctoral fellows with competitive salary, available immediately. The initial contract will be 1 year, and can be extended on mutual agreement.

The candidates should have at least two of the following expertise:

·        Computational modeling in solid mechanics or fluid mechanics, computational methods such as Finite Element Method, Finite Volume Method, Volume of Fluid, Phase field, Cellular Automata, Monte Carlo and so on, heat transfer, multiphase flow, metal phase transformations, crystal plasticity, thermo-mechanical modeling, etc.

·        Metal additive manufacturing (SLM, EBM, LENS, etc.), or similar metal manufacturing (welding, casting, powder metallurgy, etc.)

·        Topology optimization

·        Data analytics, such as data-mining, data-driven surrogate modeling

·        Material science, material characterization and testing (but purely experimental background will not be considered)

Please send detailed CV (including but not limited to: education background and publication list) and a detailed research plan to mpeyanw@nus.edu.sg, if you are interested in the position.
