Postdoctoral Research Associate Post Doctorate Research Opportunity Multifunctional Materials Modeling and Experimental Characterization

Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) Florida A&M—Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) College of Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Tallahassee, FL 32310

A post doctorate research opportunity is currently available in the Mechanical Engineering Department and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero Propulsion (FCAAP) at the joint FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The researcher will work within an interdisciplinary group at FAMU-FSU and the University of Florida through a Center of Excellence on Sense, Assess, Respond for high speed aircraft. https://fcaap.fsu.edu/aeromorph/

The research is focused on the application of information theory and applied mechanics to understand dynamical complexity in multifunctional materials and adaptive structures interacting with high speed fluid flow. It includes applying relationships between multifractal spatial and temporal structure with properties in physical reservoir computers that interact with fluid dynamics. It builds

We are searching for a motivated postdoc interested in investigating how soil-plant-atmosphere interactions are affected by agrivoltaics, i.e., the combination of crop production and solar panels. The postdoc will develop mathematical models based on biophysical processes, in combination with available data. The postdoc will also contribute to a literature synthesis on ecosystem services in agrivoltaic systems.

About the position

Agrivoltaics, if carefully designed, have the potential to provide photovoltaic energy as well as other ecosystem services, including food production and biodiversity support. At the same time, solar panels alter the crop growing conditions, so that crops in agrivoltaics are affected by climatic conditions differently compared with those in open fields.

The postdoc will explore advantages and disadvantages of a range of agrivoltaic designs on crop activity, crop vulnerability to detrimental climatic conditions, and in general ecosystem services. The postdoc will develop and use mechanistic
