Role overview
PhD position in Computational earthquake rupture mechanics 100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken At the Professorship of Solid Mechanics (SMEC) in the Institute for Building Materials at ETH Zurich, we aim to understand how materials deform, degrade, break, and ultimately fail.
Our research is driven by curiosity about the physical mechanisms that underlie failure and by the ambition to translate this understanding into more reliable and resilient materials and structures.
By combining numerical modeling, laboratory experiments, and theoretical analyses, we seek to link microscopic processes with the macroscopic behavior of both engineering and natural systems and develop predictive tools for mechanical failure.

Additional details
- The project will combine numerical method development and theoretical analysis to investigate how heterogeneous stress states and nonlinear near-fault processes influence earthquake rupture propagation, arrest, and earthquake-size statistics.
