Generative AI for 3D Functional Material Discovery

Summary

Generative AI for 3D Functional Material Discovery
Designing Smart Materials for Medical Implants Using AI and 3D Printing

This exciting PhD project combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence with materials science to develop new materials for medical implants and beyond. The research aims to speed up the discovery of innovative materials that could revolutionize fields like tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

As a PhD candidate, you'll work on:
1. Using AI to generate ideas for new 3D materials
2. Predicting material properties using advanced statistical methods
3. Designing materials with specific properties for medical applications
4. Creating prototypes using additive manufacturing (3D printing)
5. Testing the 3D-printed materials in lab experiments

You'll collaborate with experts in AI, materials science, and medicine, using state-of-the-art computing resources and 3D printing technology. Your work could lead to breakthroughs in medical implants, tissue scaffolds, and other functional materials.

The ideal candidate should have a background in materials science, engineering, computer science, or a related field. Strong programming skills and an interest in interdisciplinary research are essential. Knowledge of AI, 3D printing, or biomedical engineering is a plus.

This project offers the opportunity to make a real-world impact at the intersection of AI, additive manufacturing, and healthcare. Join us in shaping the future of medical materials and contribute to advancements that could improve countless lives.

Applicants to research degree programmes should normally have at least a first class or an upper second class British Bachelors Honours degree (or equivalent) in an appropriate discipline. The criteria for entry for some research degrees may be higher, for example, several faculties, also require a Masters degree. Applicants are advised to check with the relevant School prior to making an application. Applicants who are uncertain about the requirements for a particular research degree are advised to contact the School or Graduate School prior to making an application.

The minimum English language entry requirement for research postgraduate research study in the School of Computer Science is an IELTS of 6.5 overall with at least 6.5 in writing and at least 6.0 in reading, listening and speaking or equivalent. The test must be dated within two years of the start date of the course in order to be valid.
