Offer Description
We are currently seeking a highly motivated potential Ph.D candidate to work on the exciting topic of “Machine Learning for High Entropy Materials”. In this position, the candidate will work on the development of machine learning models to explore the emerging class of high entropy materials.
High entropy materials refers to chemical systems made of 5 or more elements and leads to complex phase space (atomic arrangement) and chemical space (choice of elements). This complexity makes these systems both interesting and challenging to address both experimentally and theoretically, particularly for structure-property relationships. The primary objective of the phd work will be the development of efficient and accurate machine learning models for accelerated exploration of high entropy materials.
The PhD work will be carried out under the joint supervision of Dr. Santanu Saha (Asst. Prof.) and Dr. Assil Bouzid (CNRS Researcher).
Organisation : University of Limoges and IRCER-CNRS Laboratory, Limoges
Starting Date : 1st Oct 2025
Application Deadline : 30th April 2025
