Fully Funded PhD in Aerospace Structures and Materials Engineering Carleton University in Canada

Fully funded PhD opportunities are available at Carleton University in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, within the Aerospace Structures and Materials Engineering Laboratory (ASME-Lab). The positions are for students interested in aerospace structures, advanced materials, multiphysics simulation, optimization, and data-driven engineering.

The research areas include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), aeroacoustics, structural modal analysis, wind tunnel testing, and numerical/experimental validation; machine learning, physics-informed machine learning, reduced-order modeling, and data-driven methods for engineering systems; and fracture mechanics, fatigue analysis, damage detection, and structural health monitoring for 3D-printed metals, composites, and hybrid materials.

Applicants should be highly motivated, autonomous, and academically strong. Required qualifications include graduation from an internationally recognized university, a minimum academic standing equivalent to CGPA 10.5/12 on Carleton's scale in the last 20 relevant courses, at least one first-author publication with the Master's supervisor in a Q1 or Q2 journal, and strong analytical, computational, experimental, and/or programming skills.

To apply, candidates should email their CV, transcripts, and a brief statement of research interests to Prof. Mostafa El Sayed at [email protected]. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
