Activités de recherche
Le candidat retenu sera chargé de développer une configuration computationnelle pour la conception de matériaux enrichis en fibres, en s’appuyant sur le cadre Processing-Structure-Properties-Performance (PSPP). Sous la direction conjointe de l’Assistant Professor Sergei Khakalo et du Professor of Practice Jouni Punkki, les activités de recherche porteront sur des modèles continus basés sur la physique pour évaluer la performance mécanique, thermique et acoustique de matériaux tels que le béton et le plastique. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la correlation des caractéristiques des fibres (propriétés, orientation, rapport d’aspect, concentration, distribution) avec la performance des matériaux, tout en intégrant la simulation du processus d’impression 3D.
Qualifications requises
Le candidat idéal doit posséder :
- Un master dans un domaine pertinent : ingénierie civile, ingénierie mécanique, science des matériaux computationnelle ou mathématiques appliquées.

📝 Description du poste : Offer DescriptionAalto University is where science and art meet technology and business. We shape a sustainable future by sparking the game changers of tomorrow and by creating novel solutions to major global challenges. Our community is made up of 13,000 students, 400 professors and close to 4 500 other staff members working on our vibrant campus in Espoo, Greater Helsinki, Finland. We actively work to ensure our community’s diversity and inclusiveness. This is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our community.The School of Engineering is an international unit with nearly 70 talented professors and 3400 full-time students. Currently, the Department of Civil Engineering has 20 professors together with lecturers, staff scientist, post-doctoral researchers, doctoral students, and technical staff. In total, the number of departmental personnel is over 100.The Department of Civil Engineering is looking for a highly qualified, talented, and motivated individual with an enthusiastic attitude toward high-quality research to work as a full-time Doctoral Researcher or Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Structural/Solid Mechanics. The candidate’s research activities will focus on the development of a computational setup for fiber-enriched materials design within the Processing-Structure-Properties-Performance (PSPP) framework under the joint supervision of Assistant Professor Sergei Khakalo and Professor of Practice Jouni Punkki.Job descriptionResearch activities will involve computational methods relying on physics-based continuum models to assess the mechanical, thermal, and acoustical performance of fiber-enriched materials such as concrete and plastic. One of the objectives will be to correlate fiber characteristics, e.g., fiber properties, orientation, aspect ratio, concentration, distribution, fiber-matrix and fiber-fiber adhesion/cohesion characteristics, with materials performance in applications. As 3D printing will be utilized as one of the manufacturing options, the focus will also be on simulating the printing process, which requires, e.g., the definition of a proper material model that adequately describes rheological aspects and the adjustment of extrusion-related parameters.Qualification requirementsThe selected candidate should have a master’s degree in a related field: e.g., civil engineering, mechanical engineering, computational materials science, or applied mathematics. The candidate should have excellent grades from the bachelor and master level courses in mathematics and mechanics as well as appropriate skills in programming and finite element analysis.
