Open position: A fully-funded PhD position for a highly motivated student is available in the Materials Processing and Performance (MaPP) Lab at the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This position starts in Fall 2022.

About MaPP Lab: We focus on understanding the process-structure-property-performance relationships in materials at multi-length scales, with an emphasis on materials processing and optimization for improved performance in extreme service conditions.

Project and requirement: The goal of this research is to design new alloys with unique physical and functional properties using computational materials science tools. Students with master’s degree in physics or material sciences are encouraged to apply. The students should have experience in Python/MATLAB scripting, DFT-based codes (VASP or Quantum ESPRESSO), Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit (ATAT), and Calculation of PHase Diagram (CALPHAD) method. Knowledge of high-performance computing for materials modelling is desirable.
