Our research group at University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a PhD opening to join 
in Fall 2024. The project will involve developing computational models for 
acoustic-fluid-structure interactions for microfluidic applications. Students 
with an interest in numerical methods, fluid-solid mechanics, microfluidics, and 
high-performance computing are specially encouraged to apply. Students with 
prior programming experience in computational fluid/solid mechanics will be 
preferred. Interested students should email their detailed academic CV 
(including list of papers/conferences, prior numerical modeling experience) and 
transcript at nitesh.nama@unl.edu.


Required:
---------------------
•	A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or any other 
relevant field with good academic record, especially in numerical methods, 
fluid & solid mechanics and programming-related courses. 

•	Willingness to engage closely with our collaborators and explore new 
research directions.


Preferred:
---------------------

•	Prior experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and/or 
Computational Solid Mechanics (CSM) such as Finite Element Method, etc. is 
highly desirable, but not essential.

•	Interest in programming (Fortran, Python, or C/C++). Candidates with 
prior experience in working with large codes are specially encouraged to apply.
