Associate Professor in Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Field of AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC)

This recruitment aims to strengthen research that, against the backdrop of advances in AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing, uses molecular dynamics, coarse-grained simulation, and multiscale analysis to elucidate structural formation, dynamics, and the mechanisms underlying the emergence of material properties in soft-matter materials, molecular assemblies, polymers, and interfacial materials, and to extend these insights toward AI- and HPC-enabled materials design. Through this appointment, we seek to advance simulation science centered on AI for Science and promote collaboration with the fields of materials, biomedical, and energy and the environment.

Work content and job description
Work in:
Education and research in AI and HPC based on mechanical engineering. Supervision of student research.
