Dr Sascha Eisentraeger is a Lecturer in Computational Mechanics in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UNSW and a member of the Centre for Infrastructure and Engineering Safety (CIES), a position he has held since January 2019. Before joining UNSW he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. He was involved in several interdisciplinary projects in the context of structural health monitoring (SHM) applications, where he was concerned with the development of efficient numerical methods for the analysis of wave propagation phenomena in thin-walled structures. Therefore, the propagation of elastic guided waves (Lamb waves, Love waves, Rayleigh waves, etc.) is an important are for his innovative high order finite element and fictitious domain approaches.
A postgraduate position (Ph,D.) is available in the area of computational mechanics. The candidate will be dealing with the development of numerical methods based on the finite element method (FEM) and fictitious domain techniques. Candidates are expected to have a Bachelor's (Honours) or Master's degree in one of the following fields: Mechanical Engineering, Computational Science and Engineering, Civil Engineering, (computational) Physics, or (computational/applied) Mathematics. The candidates should have a strong background in numerical analysis, FEM, and programming (Matlab, Fortran, C, etc.). Suitable candidates, fulfilling the mentioned criteria, are strongly encouraged to apply.
In order to undertake postgraduate research students will generally need to obtain a scholarship either from UNSW (https://research.unsw.edu.au/postgraduate-research-scholarships) or from the government of their homeland. The eligibility can be checked in the self-assessment tool (https://selfassessment.research.unsw.edu.au/). If the assessment does not indicate "likely to be competitive for a scholarship" a successful application is unlikely. If the self-assessment was passed please email me:
Please do yourself a favour by personalising your email and do not send the same application to each member of the school or faculty.
