Hossein Taheri

The LANDTIE Research Lab at Georgia Southern University, led by Associate Professor Hossein Taheri, is recruiting for both a Postdoctoral Fellow (immediate start) and a PhD student (Fall 2025 entry). The lab focuses on advanced nondestructive evaluation (NDE), material characterization, and the integration of AI, robotics, and data science in manufacturing. Research topics include micro and nano manufacturing methodologies, smart materials, and automation, with projects funded by NIST, NSF, and DOT. Ideal candidates will have backgrounds in mechanical engineering, materials science, manufacturing, or related fields, and experience in hands-on testing, simulation, or advanced sensing is highly valued. The postdoc will work on experimental and theoretical innovation in sensing, diagnostics, and automation, while the PhD student will focus on micro/nano-scale manufacturing and smart materials research using AI and simulation tools. Funding is provided through sponsored research projects, though specific stipend and tuition details are not listed. To apply, candidates should send a CV, a brief statement of interest, and reference contacts to [email protected]. The application window is open for immediate postdoc start and for PhD entry in Fall 2025.
