Our group focuses on formulating, developing and implementing optimization techniques for the purpose of optimal structural design. In most of our work, we rely on finite element analysis, analytical adjoint sensitivity analysis and gradient-based optimization.
We have multiple open positions!
Applications for postdoc, PhD and MSc positions are welcome:
- Optimal design for 3D concrete printing: AM2PM project, funded by the European Innovation Council
- Topology optimization using Iso Geometric Analysis: funded by the Israel Science Foundation
