About this position

This research opportunity at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory focuses on computational materials science for multi-scale and multi-physics modeling. The project is aimed at accelerating materials development by creating high-fidelity computational models that can connect physical behavior across multiple scales and support analysis, optimization, and design.

The advertised research emphasizes the development of computational methodologies, especially numerical methods and associated algorithms, that can help build new multi-scale materials models able to run efficiently on modern extreme-scale computing environments. A major challenge highlighted in the posting is how to bridge different length and time scales while keeping models usable in practice.

Another central theme is surrogate modeling. The opportunity calls for new adaptive, non-local surrogate modeling approaches that can reduce the cost of expensive at-scale simulations without losing the fidelity needed for real materials design applications. The research also addresses uncertainty in at-scale models, including variability from natural fluctuations, model parameters, and model form, and the need to incorporate that uncertainty consistently into multi-scale simulations.

The work is situated within the Network Cyber & Computational Sciences area and the broader research environment of the Army Research Laboratory. The posting also places the opportunity within ARL’s wider mission to advance science and technology in areas including materials science, mathematics, physics, and computational sciences. Three ARL advisors are named for the opportunity: Jaroslaw Knap, Joshua Crone, and Benjamin MacCall.

The research is relevant to computational design of materials and to the development of scalable simulation tools for high-performance computing environments.
