The Role
The postdoctoral scholar will conduct research in ultra high temperature ceramic synthesis and processing using additive manufacturing, focusing on machine learning feedback controls and materials characterization.
Summary Generated by Built In
Alfred University seeks qualified applicants to work in the area of ultra high temperature ceramic synthesis, processing and characterization. The project spans 5 individual project areas, with postdoctoral research associates needed with the following skillset:
- Additive manufacturing of carbide ceramics with Al/ML optimization (1 or 2 openings)
- Candidates with experience in materials science, mechanical engineering and related fields will perform additive manufacturing of ceramics and composites with feedback control. The successful candidate(s) will extend our well-established direct-write (robocasting) extrusion-based 3D printing methods to:
- include active machine learning/image processing feedback controls,
- improve on synthesis and processing of colloidal materials
- explore new 3D printing methods for different materials (ceramics, composites)
- perform characterization and properties measurements of the printed parts, in a continuous improvement feedback loop to engineer specific shapes with application-specific property optimization.
- Experience in AM system design, electronic control, and programing are valuable, as is experience in AM for ceramics. The PDRAs will work closely with faculty, other postdocs, laboratory technicians, graduate students and scientists from outside laboratories.
- Candidates with experience in materials science, mechanical engineering and related fields will perform additive manufacturing of ceramics and composites with feedback control. The successful candidate(s) will extend our well-established direct-write (robocasting) extrusion-based 3D printing methods to:
