Delft University of Technology Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
Delft, (Zuid-Holland), 38 hours per week
Delft University of Technology
Job description
This project deals with a new nanotechnology, metal nanoimprinting, to create nanoshapes in thin metal layers for electronic applications. The nanoshapes are obtained by transferring the pattern on a rigid punch onto the metal specimen. The objective of the project is to computationally explore the conditions for creating nanopatterns with this new technique, that involves plastic deformation of the metal. To this end, the candidate will set up and carry out molecular dynamics and discrete dislocation plasticity simulations in order to monitor deformation of the metal by computing dislocation nucleation and glide.
Requirements
Required education/skills:University Graduate
The candidate must hold a Master Degree in Materials Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. The ideal candidate has programming experience and affinity with computer modelling. Good English communication skills (spoken and written) are necessary.
Job type: Research / Advising
Workfield(s):
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers
Organization
Delft University of Technology
Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a multifaceted institution offering education and carrying out research in the technical sciences at an internationally recognized level.
