PhD on bio-based composites processing and structural design for architecture
Eindhoven University of Technology
Job descriptionAre you inspired by sustainable materials and innovative structural design? Are you eager to work on a multidisciplinary project bringing material science and structural engineering together, enhancing bio-based composites to achieve a more sustainable built environment? Then you may be an excellent candidate for this PhD position.The construction industry is confronted with a formidable challenge: reducing CO2 emissions. A promising avenue of research to tackle this issue is the utilization of bio-based fiber-reinforced polymer composites as an alternative to conventional construction materials. In particular, through the fabrication technique of filament winding, lattice composite structures can achieve high-performance, lightweight solutions that minimize material usage. This project aims to transcend the state-of-the-art by adopting a multidisciplinary approach that integrates material processing, architecture, and structural engineering.In this position, you will research and develop a bio-based fiber composite structural system for architectural applications enhancing material processing parameters while characterizing its structural performance. The main challenges of this PhD position would include:
The position is part of the TU/e EuroTech PhD Program where PhD candidates will enjoy a unique educational experience, jointly supervised by researchers from TU/e and one of the EuroTech University Alliance partners. The selected candidate will be based at TU/e, in the newly formed chair of Sustainable Structural Design of the Unit Structural Engineering and Design at the Department of the Built Environment. As a requirement of this program, the candidate should spend at least 6 months at the partner university EPFL, Switzerland, working and collaborating with the Laboratory for Processing of Advance Composites, under the supervision of Prof. Véronique Michaud, who will also be the second supervisor along the project.Job requirementsA master’s degree (or an equivalent university degree) in architecture or structural engineering.
Conditions of employmentA meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:
. * An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children’s day care and sports facilities.
