Senior Researcher in Nanometer Scale Additive Manufacturing

The Section for Manufacturing Engineering at DTU, Department of Mechanical Engineering performs theoretical, numerical, and experimental research in the field of manufacturing engineering. It covers a wide range of manufacturing processes and modelling approaches, metrology at all scales, micro/nano manufacturing, and additive manufacturing. The research is based on a multidisciplinary use of process technology, materials science, solid and fluid mechanics as well as thermodynamics and heat transfer in the analysis, modelling, and development of manufacturing processes.

The section is searching for a senior researcher to strengthen additive manufacturing (AM) research, education and innovation. We have strong research activities in the micrometer range and large scale AM, and we are looking for a colleague to research on nanometer scale AM.

Responsibilities and tasks

Research
