Ph.D. Openings - Mechanical Engineering - University of Nevada, Reno, US
Dr. Feifei Fan's group (https://feifei-fan-group.org/) has Ph.D. openings in solid mechanics and mechanical behavior of materials:
• Atomistic simulations of deformation and failure mechanisms. Experience in molecular dynamics (tools include but not limited to LAMMPS) is highly preferred.
• Coarse-grained modeling of micromechanics. Experience in finite element analysis (tools include but not limited to ABAQUS and MOOSE) is highly preferred.
• Design, fabrication, and testing of architected materials. Experience in 3D printing, digital image correlation, and mechanical testing is highly preferred.
Minimum requirements for admission:
• Undergraduate GPA of 2.5
• TOEFL score of 80 or equivalent IELTS (For students who have completed a B.S. or M.S. at an English-speaking university, this requirement is waived.)
• GRE (no minimum requirement)
