Job Description

The Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), invites applications for a Research Fellow position in the research group of Assistant Professor Wang Hao. The group is committed to investigating fundamental physical phenomena in the advanced manufacturing field of ultraprecision machining. We are seeking a self-motivated candidate to enhance the quality of research in the fields of ultraprecision cutting. He/she should possess an interest in the following research areas:

• Micro-cutting of difficult-to-machine materials, which include tough metals and brittle ceramics
• Phenomenological implications of surface influences on the deformation process

The Research Fellow will work closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) and supporting staff and student members on various research projects. The job scope will include:

• Experimental research on single point diamond turning
• Machining process modelling with crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM), system design and implementation, and sample handling for secondary material characteristic analysis
• Research project management and proposal idea generation
• Collaboration with a strong research team in a wide range of topics in micro-manufacturing
• Mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students in the research group

Qualifications

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a relevant area
• Good publication record in manufacturing/mechanical engineering journals
• Excellent command of written and verbal English
• Experience in micro-cutting
• Experience in sample preparation and handling for surface analysis
