Description
KU Leuven is inviting applications for PhD Position. The Position is offered for a project on multiscale simulation software for industrial metal forming processes. The students will be awarded a a fax-free PhD grant to work in an interdisciplinary environment. For applying this post, applicants must have an MSc degree and good knowledge of the English language. Interested applicants can apply online till June 15, 2013.
The PhD project fits into the KU Leuven Knowledge Platform M2Form on ‘Software for Multi-scale Simulations of Material Forming Processes’, a collaborative effort of the Departments of Computer Science and of Metallurgy and Materials Engineering. The Knowledge Platform aims at creating and providing expertise on multi-scale computational models to industry, in the form of a software solution. The research group Scientific Computing (Dept. of Computer Science) focuses on the development of numerical methods, algorithms and software for large-scale simulation in science and engineering. Important topics are numerical methods for multi-scale simulation and high performance computing.
The aim of the PhD project is to further develop hierarchical multiscale modelling software for the simulation of metal forming processes. Within the existing software framework, new numerical multiscale methods will be developed.
