PhD Position in Interpretable AI for Coupled Multiphysics of Geomaterials

Mission

The Data-Driven Mechanics Laboratory invites applications for a fully funded PhD position at the intersection of computational mechanics, multiphysics of geomaterials, and interpretable machine learning. The project focuses on the discovery of governing equations and constitutive relations for key multiphysics phenomena on the basis of rich micromechanical and experimental data. It pushes the boundaries of modeling and understanding crucial processes in geomaterials across scales, with application to geophysics, energy and sustainability.

Main roles and responsibilities

The successful candidate will contribute to a next-generation data-driven framework for scientific discovery in geomaterials. Research will involve the development of techniques spanning mechanics and AI, including physics-based modeling across scales (discrete/mesoscale/continuum), thermodynamic...
