EngD on Software development for advanced synthetic microstructure generation

at  TU Eindhoven

JOB DESCRIPTION

The post-master Engineering Doctorate (EngD) program DEES is a two-year salaried program in the field of technological design in Electrical Engineering. The program leads to an Engineering Doctorate degree.
EngD project
Polycrystalline microstructures are widely used for their great tuneability of the material properties. A clear example is the great variation in steel grades, each with a different combination of ductility, strength, etc. These properties result from the underlying complex polycrystalline microstructure. Simulation of artificially generated, 3D synthetic microstructures supports the design of novel steel grades. However, generating these synthetic microstructures is far from trivial. Significant challenges come from the requirements that the crystals should have realistic shapes, their sizes should match a particular grain size distribution, and in multiphase microstructures the volume fractions and morphology of the phases should be controllable.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Candidates for the EngD position should have a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a cognate discipline, with excellent grades and well-developed analytic skills. A background in software development using Python is essential and some familiarity with Visual Basic is recommended. Candidates should be fluent in spoken and written English.
