Ph.D. & Postdoctoral Positions Available

Several PhD positions in Mechanical Engineering are available in Spring and Fall 2021 and post-doc positions are immediately available in the research group of Dr. Yi Wang at the University of South Carolina-USC (Columbia/Main campus). USC is the flagship university in the State of South Carolina, and the Ph.D. program at the department of Mechanical Engineering is ranked No. 31 nationally by the National Research Council (NRC), and the College of Engineering and Computing is ranked No. 1 in the State of South Carolina for faculty research productivity.
​ The group of Dr. Wang focuses on computational and data-enabled science and engineering (CDS&E) and its applications in real-world multiphysics systems, including micro/nanofluidics, energy management, and additive manufacturing. CDS&E, recently emerging as a focal point of multidisciplinary research has been applied to essentially each phase of technology development and industrial engineering, from conceptualization, virtual prototyping and design, and automation and control, to final verification and validation (V&V). Our group aims to discover and develop new methodologies, framework, and capabilities to bridge CDS&E and system engineering in the real world and with particular emphasis on multiphysics and engineering intelligence.
​ We are looking for highly motivated applicants in applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or chemical engineering with strong background and experience in numerical modeling and high-performance computing (CFD and FEM), machine learning, data mining, and system control in fluid dynamics, energy and additive manufacturing systems, microfluidic and nanofluidic systems, etc.
To apply, please send your CV/Resume, publications, etc. in a single PDF (for Ph.D. applicants, transcripts, and GRE scores are also required) to Dr. Wang (yiwang@cec.sc.edu) with the email subject “Position Application”.
