2 PhD positions in modeling the interaction between phase transformations and viscoplasticity

2 PhD positions are available immediately in the Engineering Mechanics program in the Aerospace Engineering Department at Iowa State University in the Prof. Valery Levitas’ group (http://www.aere.iastate.edu/directory/?user_page=vlevitas ) to perform theoretical and computational parts of work on NSF- and ARO-funded projects on the interaction between phase transformations and viscoplasticity in various metals, ceramics, and semiconductors. Phase-field or macroscale simulations using FEM are of interest. Strong collaboration with two postdocs from the same group, who perform in situ experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities at Argonne National Laboratory, and an internship at Argonne National Laboratory are expected. MS degree is required.

PhD Positions in Machine Learning, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Control (Spring or Fall 2026)

Applications are invited for two PhD positions in Electrical Engineering at Colorado State University in the interdisciplinary areas of Machine Learning (ML) in Nonlinear Dynamics and Control for the start date of Spring or Fall 2026. The Research areas are:

AI and ML in Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
Data-driven models will be developed for tasks such as time-series prediction and the forecasting of extreme events in complex and dynamical systems. Hybrid Control Systems
Control strategies will be explored that combine machine learning methods with classical control theory to enhance adaptability, robustness, and system performance. Collective Behavior in Complex Dynamical Networks
Emergent phenomena such as synchronization and pattern formation will be studied in large-scale networks, with emphasis placed on applications in neuroscience (e.g., brain dynamics) and engineering (e.g., power and sensor networks).

Highly motivated
