Project description: Structural failure in the aerospace, civil and energy sectors can be life threatening for users/passengers and financially catastrophic for operators and the manufacturer. On-line detection and characterization of minor damage within complex (composite as well as 3D printed) structures can lead to a radical reduction of failures.
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship within the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University. The successful candidate will be affiliated and work within the renowned Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven.
The successful candidate will have a strong background and publication track record in one or more of the following fields:. Ultrasound and Vibration, Composite Structures, 3D Printed Structures, Damage Modelling and Prognosis, Bayesian Statistics, Structural Identification, Structural Health Monitoring, Machine Learning.
This funding call is open to all EU and International applicants. Informal enquiries prior to making an application should be addressed along with a detailed CV to Prof. D. Chronopoulos:
