About this position

This research opportunity at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory sits within the Science of Extreme Materials (SEM) area and the broader Army Research Directorate (ARD). The project focuses on computational modeling of highly transient, coupled multiphysical fields in solids, with an emphasis on understanding how different physical effects interact under extreme loading and deformation.

Students will work on analytical and numerical modeling approaches that include finite element, finite difference, peridynamic, phase-field, and discrete element methods. The research themes highlight transient coupled-field boundary value problems involving wave propagation, thermo-mechanical and electromagnetic fields in finitely deformed matter, and fluid-structure interaction associated with shock, impact, dynamic fracture, and fragmentation.

There are also opportunities to explore machine learning, topology optimization, and multiscale modeling of material microstructures using genetic programming and computational geometric methods, especially in conjunction with large-scale finite element and other computational solvers. The advertised work is closely tied to model validation against experiments and verification against analytical solutions, making it suitable for a student interested in computational mechanics, materials response, and extreme loading phenomena.

The opportunity is associated with ARL advisors Efrain Hernandez and Andrew T. Gaynor, and is part of the ARL-RAP environment that connects academic and industry scientists and engineers with Army-relevant research challenges.
