Description
The Center for Smart Engineering Materials (CSEM), New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a post-doctoral associate to work on the development, characterization, and applications of novel self-healing cements with a dual capability of self-monitoring/sensing through the integration of smart technologies.
The successful applicant will work on four main areas: (i) development of novel self-healing cementitious materials through chemical and/or bio-mineralization, (ii) design and assessing of the performance of piezoelectric materials endowed with high sensitivity, resistance to polarization under a wide temperature range, and durability under the highly basic environment of concrete, (iii) development of structural-health-monitoring networks specifically for the oil and gas industry, and (iv) consolidation of the results to formulate and assess the performance of self-monitoring and self-healing cementitious composites.
