PhD in Engineering Sciences: Wire-Laser Metal Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace at Tecnológico de Monterrey Tecnológico de Monterrey in

Fully funded PhD positions are available in Engineering Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey, focusing on wire-laser metal additive manufacturing for aerospace applications. The research will advance the field of aerospace manufacturing by developing low-cost, high-performance titanium alloy components using cutting-edge additive manufacturing techniques. Key research areas include in-situ process monitoring, microstructure-property relationships, and AI-based process modeling for process optimization.

The project is ideal for motivated engineers passionate about hands-on research, advanced manufacturing, and real-world engineering impact. The laboratory infrastructure includes the RAPID 3D Lab and access to state-of-the-art facilities at the Monterrey campus. Collaborations with MADiT and Georgia Tech further enhance the research environment.

Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Science in Electronics, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering, have an average GPA above 90, and score at least 585 on the PAEP or an equivalent GRE score. The program offers a full tuition scholarship for the 4.5-year in-person PhD, and students may apply for a living expenses stipend through SECIHTI’s National Graduate System.

To apply, send your CV to [email protected] with the subject 'Ph.D. WLAM Research Application'. The program starts in August 2026. This opportunity is perfect for those seeking to contribute to aerospace innovation and advanced manufacturing research in a high-level international environment.
