DHOFAR UNIVERSITY IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.

Applications are invited for a temporary Research Assistant (RA) position at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering, Dhofar University, Salalah, Oman. This position is part of a Research Grant (RG) project funded by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research & Innovation (MoHERI) of Oman and will be supervised by Dr. Monzer Daoud from Dhofar Unviersity and Dr. Walid Jomaa from Polytechnique Montreal, Canada.

Context:

In recent years, hydrogen energy, well-known for its wide availability and zero emissions, has become an attractive option for new clean energy source, with applications spanning transportation, materials production, and heating of buildings. However, adopting the hydrogen energy presents specific challenges. Among these, hydrogen embrittlement (HE) which impacts the integrity and performance of materials employed in hydrogen transport and storage. This phenomenon occurs when hydrogen atoms are absorbed by metallic materials, especially in environments under elevated hydrogen pressure, resulting in a loss of ductility and consequently a risk of catastrophic failure. A deeper insight into the correlations between microstructure and HE sensitivity is highly important for ensuring the safety of hydrogen energy systems. In this context, this proposal aims at using artificial intelligence algorithms to enhance the accuracy of phase identification and accelerate the analysis of the microstructure of steels.

Project objectives:

This research focuses on microstructural analysis of steels, involving:

Phase identification in low-and high-grade steels under different heat treatments and mechanical processes.
Crystallographic orientation mapping using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to build a dataset for deep learning (DL) training.
Selection and implementation of high-performance DL algorithms for phase recognition.
Investigation of the correlation between microstructure and HE sensitivity.

Research Assistant (RA) position requirements:

We are seeking a highly qualified Research Assistant (RA) with a Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a closely related field. Candidates with backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering (Materials Focus)/Physics (Crystallography)/Computer Science (AI/Deep Learning for Materials Science) may also be considered.

Main Responsibilities:

Compiling and analyzing data.
Authoring reports, including analysis reports, literature reviews, and final project reports.
Developing machine learning models.
Writing research papers related to project findings for potential publication.

Salary:

5 OMR/hour

How to Apply: Interested candidates should send their applications online with an updated CV.
