A Ph.D. opening in Deployable Structures is available in Dr. Kawai Kwok’s research group in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department at University of Central Florida. The research will focus on developing a novel deployable blade structure using a combination of fabrication, experimental and computational techniques. Students with Bachelor or Master degrees in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and other relevant disciplines are encouraged to apply. Self-motivated candidates with a background in solid and structure mechanics, hands-on fabrication skills, experience in mechanical experimentation are particularly welcome. The position is expected to start in Fall 2020 or Spring 2021.
Interested candidates should contact Dr. Kwok (kawai.kwok [at] ucf.edu (kawai[dot]kwok[at]ucf[dot]edu)) with their CV summarizing their research and academic experience. More information about the research group can be found at http://mae.ucf.edu/kawaikwok/.
