The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Louisville is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team. The successful candidate will focus on simulating the dynamic behavior of multiphase architected materials.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement advanced computational models to study the dynamic behavior of multiphase architected materials.
• Analyze simulation results and collaborate with experimentalists to validate models.

Qualifications:

I find quite remarkable how the combination of electro-chemo-mechanics modelling and phase field approaches has enable to develop mechanistic models for the longstanding problem of corrosion. The following paper summarises recent developments in this emerging field: https://doi.org/10.1557/s43577-024-00715-8
