Sandia National Laboratories is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct computational research on the impact, dynamics, and mechanics of granular materials. The work focuses on improving coarse-grained, particle-based simulations for complex granular flows, compaction, and planetary-defense applications. The researcher will generate and study gravitationally stabilized granular packings, investigate wave propagation and shock behavior, and run large-scale simulations of granular systems. Met...

This PhD project is part of H2-TWIN and focuses on building fast, reliable reduced-order models for PEM fuel cell systems from a high-fidelity multiphysics model. The goal is to make these models suitable for real-time simulation, control, monitoring, and system sizing. The doctoral research is centered on data-driven, non-intrusive model reduction , with the Loewner framework as the main methodological base. A key challenge is to extend this framework to the nonlinear structure of fuel-cell mod...
