PhD Students

Now Hiring!

I am currently hiring a highly motivated student to work on a DOE project to support coupling of Tokamak and Stellarator codes. Advancements will be made in the Parallel Coupler for Multimodel Simulations to improve capabilities for Frontier and Aurora.

I am additionally hiring a highly motivated student to work on high-fidelity multiscale simulations of fibrous biological tissues using MuMFiM. This student will develop new computational methodologies for GPUs and make use of machine learning techniques.

I am particularly interested in applicants with experience in programming, high-performance computing, solid mechanics, or plasma physics, and a desire to learn and work on dynamic multidisciplinary projects.

Please contact me if you are interested!
