• Motivated to learn. Strong problem solving, communication and time management skills
• Demonstrated skills in writing, understanding, and presenting in fluent English
• Have strong knowledge, research, or experience in applications or development of one of the following subjects:
• Structural Behavior of soft/hyperelastic/viscoelastic materials: Knowledge in element, contact, adaptive solver, numerical techniques to solve challenges in deformation of soft material in an assembly or focused on physics of material constitutive behavior, fatigue, and aging and its related calibration process. Related application experience may include applications in elastomer seals, vibration isolation systems, biological materials etc.
• Coupled field technology of multifunctional materials or strong multiphysics processes: Knowledge of coupling structural and non-structural degrees of freedom e.g. piezoelectric material, dielectric materials, electrostatic sensors, magneto-structural systems, thermal diffusion mechanics, hydrogen diffusion and embrittlement. Related application experience may include sensors and sensing systems, actuation, energy harvesting, energy storage and batteries, electronic reliability, biological sensors etc.
• Biomechanics and Biomaterials: Modeling of biomedical systems, materials and biomimicking structures using applied finite elements. Applications may include modeling human body parts under physical loading, modeling impact and injury in biological systems, mechanics of soft biological materials, cellular mechanics, bioimaging, modeling biological multiphysics processes like drug diffusion etc..
• Multiscale modeling of materials and structures: Computational homogenization and systematic upscaling of material, interface or structural behavior from subscale to the macroscale using finite element based multiscale modeling schemes and/or concurrent 2 scale multiscale modeling. Applications may include material discovery and design for tunable mechanical behavior, rough surface interfaces, modeling of metamaterials for acoustic waveguides etc.
• Application of Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence to any of the above topics
