M.S and PhD Positions in Transportation at University of Massachusetts Amherst

Looking to recruit highly motivated M.S. and Ph.D. students to join my research group in the Department of Civil and Environmental at the Riccio College of Engineering, UMass at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Research opportunities are available in two exciting areas:

🔹 Post-fire assessment and resilience of transportation infrastructure, including tunnels and other critical transportation assets.
🔹 Cold spray additive repair of steel infrastructure, including the development, characterization, and field implementation of innovative repair technologies for bridges and other structural systems.

Students will have the opportunity to work at the intersection of structural engineering, materials science, advanced manufacturing, experimentation, and infrastructure resilience, while collaborating with leading researchers, transportation agencies, and industry partners.

Prospective students with backgrounds in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, or related disciplines are encouraged to apply.

If you are interested, please email me at sgerasimidis@umass.edu with your CV and a brief description of your research interests.
