atomistic

Deadline: 5th April 2023 !

I am looking to admit at least two PhD students in the broad area of Fracture Mechanics at the Department of Applied Mechanics, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

The problems we work on are fundamental in nature and utilize mathematics, atomistic simulations and experiments. More details may be found at https://web.iitd.ac.in/~gsingh/

Application deadline is 5^th April 2023. A background in solid mechanics is essential.

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has funded a 2 year project to BITS Pilani (Goa and Hyderabad campuses). The simulation project will model atomistic fracture in amorphous silica, with application to the Thermal Protection System (TPS) of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV).

Details of application are mentioned in the attachment.

A postdoctoral associate position at MIT is available immediately,
focused on the analysis and development of multifunctional thermal
management structures, by using theoretical and atomistic multiscale
modeling and simulation. This project specifically involves calculations
of thermal and mechanical properties of graphene based metal- and
polymer nanocomposites, with a focus on various aspects such as
interfacial transport properties, tunability, mutability and phonon
engineering. Additional aspects of the project relate to the general
