中南boyUID: 3463397

One PHD research assistantship will be provided for a qualified PHD candidate for studying PHD at Michigan Tech. Either TOEFL (or IELTS) and GRE scores with minimum requirements are needed for the application. The applicant with M.S. degree is highly recommended. The PHD study and research are funded by both NSF and Michigan state Department of Environmental Quality. The highly-motivated student with research background on structures, mechanics or structural materials (polymer composite, concrete or asphalt materials) will be desired. If you are interested with this oversea PHD study in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Depart at Michigan Tech, please contact Dr. Qingli Dai directly with email qingdai@mtu.edu. Dr. Dai has published 49 Journal papers and other more than 40 conference papers. She has received 3 NSF projects as PI and 1 as co-PI, as well as other research projects.
