Two Ph.D. positions on Reliability of Composite Materials, Auburn University, Starting Jan or August 2024

We are looking for self-motivated PhD students to study (1) the failure probability and reliability of advanced composites; and (2) the design and manufacturing of composite materials and structures that are not just lightweight and strong but super reliable.

Students are welcome to contact Dr. Wen Luo at w-luo@auburn.edu with your CV, transcripts, TOFEL/IELTS, GRE, and a brief introduction of research interests.
