PhD Position in Mechanical Engineering at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, USA

 

A fully-funded PhD student position is available in the Computational Multiphase Flows Research Group [1] at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Department of Mechanical Engineering for proposed start date of January 2023. 

The PhD student will investigate water entry of solid objects by performing computational simulations using our in-house multiphase flow solver. This is a collaborative computational-experimental research project, and the student is expected to interact and work with our collaborators who are conducting experiments of water entry. The student will enroll in the Engineering & Applied Science (EAS) PhD program [2] and will become a member of the Center for Scientific Computing and Data Science Research [3].

The preferred start date is January 15, 2023 (i.e., Spring 2023 semester). However, the start date can be discussed further. 

 

If interested, please email Dr. Mehdi Raessi ([email protected]) your CV and a brief summary of your experience in CFD, programming, and scientific computing. Please use “PhD position – Water entry” as your email subject.

 

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMass Dartmouth) is located at southeast Massachusetts, just one-hour drive from Boston and only 45 minutes from Providence, Rhode Island, which are both major vibrant cities in the New England region. The Computational Multiphase Flows Research Group uses state-of-the-art computational facilities, including massive high-performance computing resources, to perform simulations. Our research group is a member of the UMass Dartmouth’s Center for Scientific Computing and Data Science Research, a multidisciplinary center that focuses on computationally-driven research that addresses the pressing needs of modern engineering.
