The Computational Robotics and Mechatronics (CRM) Lab at Texas Tech University is seeking multiple PhD students to join ongoing research in small-scale magnetic soft robots. Our research is currently supported by two active National Science Foundation (NSF) projects:

1. Modular magneto-dynamic mechanism for small-scale soft robots

2. Self-regulating artificial cilia arrays for fluid and particle manipulation

Required Qualifications and Skills:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related field. (MS preferred; outstanding BS students considered).

• Background in at least one of: electromagnetics, solid mechanics, robotics, machine learning, and engineering design.

• Preferred: experience with computational modeling (e.g., COMSOL, ANSYS, ABAQUS) and programming (Python, MATLAB, C++).

• Strong writing and communication skills and demonstrated research potential.
