PhD Title: Frozen In: Predicting Microstructure in Solidifying Droplets
PhD Supervisor: Radu Cimpeanu
Contact: Rumesh.Sudhaharan@warwick.ac.uk
This project is a pioneering study into the microstructural development inside spreading and solidifying droplets, to solve 21st century challenges such as efficiency-reducing ice accretion on wind turbines and poor bonding in the 3D printing of metals (鈥楳etalJet鈥�). Guided by experts in the latest scientific techniques, you will predict the complex dendritic growth of crystals within a droplet, connect this to engineering-scale mechanical properties and have the opportunity to apply machine learning image processing techniques to guide theory with experimental analyses. Your research will lead to new discoveries and a close interaction with our industrial collaborators.
