Context And Mission
You will be in the context of the DIDEAROT project, a Horizon Europe project in the field of aeronautics. The DIDEAROT project aims at bringing a digital centerpiece approach that could integrate the move to more digital designs in the aircraft industry. It will cover the robust optimization of composite structures focused on digital predictions of two key aspects in its lifetime:
a) Manufacturing: predicting distortions, stress build-up, and assembly challenges for ever-more integrated industrial-scale composite parts.
b) Impact events: predicting damage from low- and high-velocity impact events.
Key Duties
* The PhD thesis will focus on impact events on composite structures. Within this framework, the main objectives of the PhD will be the following:
i. Application of the Alya multiphysics code to conduct impact simulations to model the damage behaviour at the mesoscale level by means of High-Performance Computing.
ii. Investigate Machine Learning strategies for predicting damage under impact events.
iii. Publication of the conducted work in peer-reviewed international journals and participation in international conferences and annual project meetings.
iv. Interaction with other researchers across different organizations.
Requirements
* Education
o You have a Bachelor's or equivalent degree in Mechanical or Aeronautical engineering.
o A Master's in mechanics of materials or machine learning will be very valuable.
* Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience
o You are familiar with Python, Matlab, Fortran, or related.
o You are familiar with or able to learn current AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, or PyTorch in the context of HPC.
* Competences
o You are committed to personal development and can demonstrate to be autodidactic and have organizing, problem-solving, and interaction skills.
Conditions
* The PhD will be conducted between Barcelona Supercomputing Center and AMADE Research group at the University of Girona.
* The position will be located at BSC within the CASE Department.
* We offer a full-time contract, a good working environment, a highly stimulating environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure, flexible working hours, extensive training plan, tickets restaurant, private health insurance, fully support to the relocation procedures.
* Duration: Open-ended contract due to technical and scientific activities linked to the project and budget duration.
* Salary: we offer a competitive salary commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the candidate and according to the cost of living in Barcelona.
If this PhD scholarship sounds like what you are looking for, we look forward to hearing from you!
