material characterization

A postdoctoral research associate position is available starting Spring 2023 in the area of testing and characterization of Aluminum alloys. Candidates with experience in mechanical testing and microstructural characterization, and with strong project management skills are particularly encouraged to apply. The hire will interact closely with collaborators from the industry and National Labs. The qualified candidate will have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science. 

Dear All:

 Two fully funded PhD positions are available in the Applied and Theoretical Mechanics (ATOM) Lab (https://www.sikundalwal.com/atom-lab), Department of Mechanical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Indore.

The modeling and performance of mechanical resonators used for mass detection of bio-cells, nanocrystalline materials characterization, and disease diagnosis of human immune-viruses (HIVs) are investigated. To simulate the real behavior of these mechanical resonators, a novel distributed-parameter model based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is developed. This model is equipped with a micromechanical model and an atomic lattice model to capture the inhomogeneity nature of the material microstructure.
