About this position

Ph.D. opportunity in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for a fully funded research program on computational engineering for extreme environments.

The project focuses on developing next-generation computational methods for systems operating under extreme conditions, where conventional modeling approaches struggle. Research themes include hypersonics, materials and directed energy, high-fidelity computational modeling and simulation, scientific machine learning, physics-informed computational methods, multiphysics simulations, uncertainty-aware predictive modeling, and large-scale simulations using high-performance computing.

Students with backgrounds in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or related computational science and engineering fields are encouraged to apply. Strong analytical and computational skills are important. Experience with numerical methods, CFD, programming (C++, Fortran, Python, Julia, or similar), machine learning, or HPC is highly desirable.

The position includes full financial support subject to funding. International applications are welcome. The application deadlines listed are Spring 2027 admission: 2026-10-08 and Fall 2027 admission: 2026-12-01.

Apply via the Aerospace Engineering graduate admissions portal and contact Dr. Daniil Andrienko at [email protected] before applying. Include the code word FRONTIER in the email subject line and submit a merged PDF with a CV, unofficial transcripts, a brief research statement, and contact information for two references.
