PhD Opportunity in Geotechnical Engineering and Renewable Energy Geomechanics at NIT Rourkela National Institute of Technology Rourkela in India

Yichuan Zhu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Temple University, is recruiting one fully funded PhD student for the Laboratory for Sensing, Imaging, and Geomechanics Analysis (SIGMA). The project focuses on the mechanical behavior of geomaterials at the micro- and nano-scales, with research combining laboratory testing, advanced imaging, and computational analysis. This is a strong fit for students interested in geomechanics, geotechnical engineerin...

Funded PhD project at Abertay University in collaboration with the University of Dundee on the thermomechanical behaviour of energy piles under complex loading conditions . The project sits at the intersection of civil engineering , geotechnical engineering , environmental science , and shallow geothermal energy , with a strong focus on energy geostructures , ground source heat pumps , and low-carbon heating for net-zero infrastructure. The research aims to understand and measure the thermomecha...
