Next-Generation High-Temperature Coatings for Aerospace Applications
The Concordia Materials Tribology & Characterization Lab is seeking highly motivated candidates for two PhD and one MASC positions in the field of materials tribology in extreme environments.
Project description:
This research project is a collaborative effort with aerospace industries involving three academic and industrial partners. The primary objective is to develop next-generation material systems with increased performance and durability for high-temperature applications in aerospace.
The project is led by Prof. Pantcho Stoyanov at Concordia University, this project offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge advancements in the field.
The successful candidates will be expected to:
- Develop new coating strategies and optimize processes.
- Investigate coating performance through mechanical and tribological testing across various temperature ranges.
- Characterize specimens using specialized laboratory techniques including SEM/EDX, XRD, EBSD, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy.
Qualifications:
- A master’s degree (for PhD candidates) or a bachelor’s degree (for MASC candidates) in material or mechanical engineering, applied physics or a relevant discipline.
- Strong background in surface engineering, surface modification techniques (e.g., vapor deposition, thermal spray methods), and materials characterization and testing are highly desirable.
- All applicants must meet the graduate admissions requirements at the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science.
