PhD Positions in Computational Engineering at the University at Buffalo for Fall 2020

Multiple Ph.D. students are being sought to fill openings in the Predictive Computational Engineering (PCE) Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. PCE Lab concerns with multidisciplinary research at the intersect of multiscale modeling of materials, physics-based machine learning, and scientific computing.

The projects aim at developing new theoretical and computational methods for predictive modeling of complex materials systems. Of particular interests are predicting the responses of metal additive manufactured components as well as biomaterials, using a combination of enhanced continuum theories, finite element solutions, and Bayesian inference. Candidates should possess a master's degree in mechanical, civil, or other related engineering fields at the time of enrollment at UB. A strong background in computational and applied mechanics is desired. If interested, contact Dr. Faghihi directly at danialfa@buffalo.edu. Please include a CV along with a brief description of prior research experiences.
