Funded PhD, Postdoc, and MASc Positions in Thermal Reduced-Order Modeling and Model-Based Safety Assessment for Aerospace and Space Systems Concordia University in Canada

Associate Professor Schuyler Hinman at the University of Calgary is seeking an MSc student for his lab, with a start date in January or May 2027. The project focuses on applied aerodynamics and a constrained aerodynamic design space for the wings of small-scale remotely piloted aircraft. The post describes the work as “fancy flat plates,” suggesting a research direction centered on wing geometry, aerodynamic performance, and design exploration for UAV/RPA applications. This is a student opening ...

York University is inviting applications for fully funded MASc and PhD positions in Mechanical Engineering, focusing on the development of structural batteries for Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs) using advanced composite materials. The project, supervised by Associate Professor Garrett Melenka and Sergii Kravchenko, aims to enhance UAV performance by integrating high-strength, lightweight composite materials such as carbon fibre and epoxy into their structures, enabling greater capacity and ...
