About this position

PhD opportunity in Nuclear Structural Materials for Extreme Environments at Nanyang Technological University, School of Materials Science and Engineering, with Prof Eason Yi-Sheng Chen.

This project focuses on the reliability of structural materials used in nuclear energy systems under extreme conditions such as irradiation, high temperatures, mechanical stress, and corrosive media. The research will examine irradiation-induced defects, elemental redistribution, corrosion, oxidation, and how these processes affect long-term materials performance and degradation.

Students will work on advanced materials characterization and mechanistic analysis to connect processing, microstructure, environmental exposure, and degradation behavior. Depending on interests, the project may include advanced electron microscopy, atom probe tomography, mechanical testing, corrosion experiments, and computational or data-analysis approaches.

Ideal applicants should have a strong background in materials science, metallurgy, nuclear engineering, or mechanical engineering. Relevant academic interests include nuclear physics, engineering, materials science, structural materials, corrosion, irradiation damage, and microstructure-property relationships.

This is a competition-funded PhD project open to students worldwide. The post states that applications are accepted all year round, so interested candidates can register their interest at any time through the FindAPhD listing.

Location: Singapore.
