Two Ph.D. positions are available in Prof. Dongare's research group in the area of atomic-scale and mesoscale modeling of the deformation behavior of materials. The positions can be in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering or the School of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of Connecticut.
Interested students should email their CV to Prof. Dongare at dongare(at)uconn.edu.
In our recent study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, using a multiscale modeling technique, we investigated how the combination of nanofibrillation and interfacial tuning can have a synergistic effect on the stiffness-toughness balance in rubber-toughened nanocomposites.

An immediate postdoctoral associate position with a tentative start date of Jan 15 is available in Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab at the University of Alabama with Prof. Kasra Momeni on multiscale modeling materials and processes. This project aims to develop multiscale models of alloys under extreme conditions, such as radiation, heat, and stresses, to develop new alloys. The postdoctoral researcher will lead several projects on material design using various techniques, such as molecular dynamics, phase-field, and CALPHAD.
