PhD position: self-emerging architected materials

at  ETH Zrich

JOB DESCRIPTION

The successful candidate will develop numerical and theoretical models for the self-assembly process and the emergence of the microstructure. She/he will evaluate the mechanical properties of the resulting microstructure with numerical simulations using in-house codes and high-performance computing systems. He/she will analyze the produced data to determine the factors leading to desired material properties and establish knowledge that provides the scientific basis for the synthesis of self-emerging architected materials. If successful, the design concepts will be implemented experimentally (potentially with external collaborators) to demonstrate the potential of this manufacturing strategy.
