Doctoral Position in Mechanics of Frictional Particle Suspensions at ETH Zurich ETH Zurich in Switzerland

Doctoral Position in Mechanics of Frictional Particle Suspensions at ETH Zurich’s Professorship of Solid Mechanics (SMEC), Institute for Building Materials. This PhD project explores how microscopic frictional interactions between particles govern the macroscopic flow and rheological response of dense, concentrated suspensions. The work sits at the intersection of mechanics, applied physics, computational science, and materials research, and aims to connect particle-scale processes such as slidi...
