PhD: Thermodynamic Modelling of EAF Steel Phases

University of Cambridge; Cambridge; In loco; GBP 22.000 - 28.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

The PhD studentship is based at the University of Cambridge, within the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy's Structural Materials Group. It focuses on thermodynamic modelling of minority phases in EAF steels, with machine learning integration and advanced materials characterisation.

Applicants should hold a good UK Master’s degree (or overseas equivalent) in a relevant science subject and be able to communicate findings clearly.

Competenze

• Good UK Master’s degree (or overseas equivalent) in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics or Engineering.
• Self-motivated with ability to take ownership of research.
• Ability to communicate research findings effectively.

Mansioni

• Conduct thermodynamic modelling of minority phases in EAF steels.
• Develop ML models to predict phase formation in steel alloys.
• Characterise phases using STEM, XRD, synchrotron XRD, nano-SIMS and 3D atom probe tomography.
• Refine thermodynamic database parameters to improve predictions.
