About the position
The NTNU Nanomechanical Lab in the Department of Structural Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is seeking a PhD Candidate in the field of atomistic modeling applied to materials science.
Atomistic interactions underlie materials properties. To name a few examples, interactions of chemicals and functional groups in a material with CO2 define the CO2-philicity of the materials applied in carbon capture and storage; adhesion of water molecules on a surface determine the hydrophobicity and further the icephobicity of the surface; atomistic interactions between two dis-similar materials decide the dynamics and the robustness of the interface between the two materials. The atomistic interactions are at small scales in nanometer range, which touch the limit of resolution in experiments and should be addressed by advanced atomistic modeling. With the fast development of power in supercomputing, it is becoming feasible to elucidate the collecting effects of atomistic interactions for establishing the materials structure-property-function relationship. Applying atomistic modeling to probe the atomistic-level mechanisms of materials properties is in urgent demand by smart materials design nowadays.
The NTNU Nanomechanical Lab has a long-term research experience in atomistic modeling applied to materials science. The research group has strong expertise in fracture mechanics, interface mechanics and nanoscale thermal transport. Currently, the research team is looking for expanding the research strength in materials smart phobicity/philicity, aiming for understanding the relevant critical atomistic insights for pushing forward the frontier in smart materials design. The research activities of this advertised PhD position will contribute to laying the basis of multiscale principles in the fabrication of smart materials for energy and environment applications.
The PhD candidate will work at the NTNU Nanomechanical Lab, chaired by three full time professors, one associate professor and two adjunct professors from the industry. Currently, the lab hosts 12 PhD students, 2 post-doc fellows, a number of scientific visiting scholars and master students.
The PhD candidate will report to the supervising professors.
