Overview

This program allows you to receive funding for your internship and thesis. If your application is selected, the internship will be remunerated and followed by a PhD offer. The advantage is that succesful applicants are assured very early in the year (mid-January) that they will receive a thesis grant. The program, application procedure, and timetable are described in the PhD track section of the https://www.inria.fr/fr/centre-inria-universite-lorraine website.

Future doctoral students will be welcomed into an internship (M2 level or equivalent) and thesis program (the so-called PhD track). The final decision on thesis funding will be made as early as January 2025 so students can be sure of receiving their thesis grant in mid-January. Internships are compensated in the same way as regular internships.

Important Dates:
- Application Deadline: December 1, 2024
- Selection Decision: Mid-January 2025
- Internship Start Date: First Semester 2025
- PhD Start Date: Second Semester 2025

Description

Imagine a universe where porous structures—governed by mathematical functions—constantly evolve, maintaining the same core properties while adapting to new conditions. This PhD track delves into this evolving realm, using advanced computational techniques to define and optimize these structures for various applications.

Overview of Research Objectives

Internship (6 months)

Begin by focusing on 2D porous structures, developing and studying a method that enables their continuous evolution while preserving fundamental properties. The primary objective is understanding the parameters that ensure structural integrity during deformation.

PhD (3 years)

Expand on the findings from the internship, moving from 2D to 3D porous structures. The PhD will optimize these structures for various mathematical, physical, and visual objectives. Potential applications include enhancing permeability, improving rigidity, and mimicking natural forms.

Why Apply?

This program is ideal for students interested in pushing the boundaries of computational design of porous structures. The PhD track allows you to:

Work on groundbreaking research in a field with applications in engineering, material science, and computer graphics.
Secure early funding for both your internship and PhD.
