The Materials & Mechanics Modelling M3 group explores the imperfections of materials with computer simulations to improve their performance and discover new materials with new functionalities. At the Department of Mechanical Engineering, our research contributes to the Materials research group, which uses and explores truly predictive materials simulations to develop and tune materials for diverse applications that rely on and are limited by unavoidable defects in materials.

Available PhD topics
Scholarships are available Mechanics of nanostructured materials PhD project: The strength and reliability of engineering materials are related to the internal microstructure, which includes materials imperfections (eg, interfaces, impurities, dislocations) with their respective size and distances to each other. Nanostructured materials have extraordinary and unexpected properties compared to traditional engineering alloys due to a nanoscale […]
