PhD Studentship: Modelling of Multi Component Dendritic Growth
Found in: beBee S GB - 2 weeks ago
ARCANE is a collaborative research project across three leading UK universities and Rolls-Royce plc. The project aims to develop the state-of-the-art scientific understanding of nucleation defect formation within directionally solidified single crystal (SX) castings, and their role in the reduction in mechanical performance, through novel experimental methods, computational materials engineering modelling tools and machine learning methods.
The project brings together world-leading experts in both academia and industry, across fields including superalloy metallurgy, microstructure characterisation, investment casting processing, computational modelling of casting processes at a macro-scale / component level and at a dendritic growth level, and machine learning methods for process optimisation. Title: Modelling of multi-component dendritic growth Description: The computational modelling PhD will include; -Multi component dendritic growth of a Nickel base superalloy undergoing directional solidification, Phase field simulations, Model and code development, Interfacial properties using Molecular Dynamics methods, Binarisation techniques, Texture development modelling, Experimental validation using state-of-the-art analysis methods, Prediction of DSC traces.
Candidates should have a 1st class or 2:1 Undergraduate degree or a Masters degree (or equivalent) in Materials Science, or within a related Science & Engineering discipline. A background in microstructural characterisation, computational modelling methods, and/or advanced mechanical testing would be advantageous.
The School of Metallurgy & Materials at the University of Birmingham is committed to promote diversity, equality and inclusivity within our staff and student populations. We aim to encourage better practice for all members of the community, whilst also working towards developing an equitable working culture in which all students and staff can achieve their full potential. We welcome applications from all qualified applicants, and encourage applications from traditionally under-represented groups within materials science and engineering.
To apply for this PhD studentship, please provide: curriculum vitae (CV), Cover Letter summarising your research interests and suitability for the position, and the contact details of two Referees. Please send to Dr Nils Warnken, one of the project's academic staff members for the Prosperity Partnership ARCANE project, at the project’s dedicated contact email: ARCANE@contacts.bham.ac.uk
Funding notes:
The project is funded by the UKRI EPSRC Prosperity Partnerships award. UK Home students are eligible for the full funding package.
