Mechanical Engineering Clemson University in United States

Several Ph.D. positions are available in our research group at Clemson University. Please see below ?? I am recruiting six Ph.D. students in the Mechanical Engineering program at Clemson University starting in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025. Our research group is dedicated to the development, application and dissemination of model validation and uncertainty quantification (MVUQ) techniques. Students interested in applying for this graduate research assistantship are expected to enroll as full-time graduate students in the Mechanical Engineering program at Clemson University. The doctoral research dissertation will focus on one or more of the following research topics:• Computationally efficient model calibration approaches leveraging advancements in machine learning (ML) algorithms.• Advancements in model verification strategies (e.g., method of manufactured solutions).• UQ of computational models for problems with extremely high dimensional input/output space.• Test-analysis correlation for extremely large datasets.• Development and selection of computationally efficient ML-based surrogate models approximating computationally demanding models.• Bayesian statistical learning for UQ in exascale computing environments.• Quasi-Monte Carlo approximations in high-dimensional spaces for forward and inverse propagation of uncertainties.Students who are U.S. citizens are encouraged to apply for this research assistantship. The assistantship will cover the tuition fees, insurance subsidy, monthly stipend, and travel expenses. Graduate students recruited under this assistantship will have the opportunity to complete summer internships or extended visits at U.S. DOE national laboratories and collaborate with DOE scientists.…more
