Ph.D. position on material sciences and machine learning

I am looking for a creative and self-motivated Ph.D. student to join the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL, starting FALL of 2024. The project will focus on the application of machine learning techniques to advance the data-driven design of nanomaterials, with a particular focus on graphene, as part of a recently funded NSF CAREER. The students will leverage these techniques to create structured databases on graphene and use them to find useful correlations between synthesis conditions and output properties of the material.


We will start reviewing applications immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Candidate Requirements

-------------------------------------

- Hold a bachelor's OR Master's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, data science, mathematics, statistics, econometrics, economics, operations research, or related field.
