Computational Materials Science Research - Multi-Scale Mode

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) offers research opportunities in computational materials science focused on multi-scale modeling. The program aims to accelerate the development of new materials through computational design by reducing development time and evaluation costs. Research involves developing computational methodologies, numerical methods, and algorithms that enable rapid creation of high-fidelity multi-scale/multi-physics computer models of materials capable of utilizing modern extreme-scale computing environments. The research addresses challenges in scale-bridging, adaptive non-local surrogate modeling to reduce computational costs, and consistent incorporation of uncertainty into multi-scale models. The program is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army.
