Scholarship Description:
This specific position is offered by the laboratory of computational material design in the department. GOAL of Research Lab: Multiscale and multiphysics modeling to computationally design advanced polymeric materials, with emphasis on energy absorption, sustainable energy solution and biomedical application, to provide scientific insights into their chemistry-structure-property-performance relationships. The research team will focus on the development of novel computational methods and apply these methods for extra-large scale simulations to access the experimentally unapproachable phenomena.
Available Subjects:
Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related area.
Eligibility criteria:
- A BS in Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related area. MS with project experience and good publication is a plus.
- Programming skills in MATLAB, Fortran, C/C++, or Python. Experience in parallel computing is a plus.
- Experience in running molecular dynamics simulations and finite element analysis.
- Broad knowledge of computational material science and polymer physics will be a plus.
Application Procedure:
Interested candidates should send a CV, transcripts, TOEFL/GRE scores and the contact information of at least three professional references to Dr. Ying Li at ying.3.li@uconn.edu .
