Research Focus: Design, development, and characterization of next-generation polymer and biogenic composites with self-healing / recyclable capabilities for aerospace applications.

Eligibility:
• BS or MS in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Material Science & Engineering or related field
• Foundational understanding of solid mechanics principles and concepts
• Experience with material characterization methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescent transmission IR spectroscopy (FTIR) is highly valued

Note: Due to federal funding and visa restrictions, U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is very strongly recommended.
