Education/Training:A doctoral degree in mechanical and/or biomedical engineering or physics with emphasis on heat transfer, multiphase fluid dynamics, laser-material interaction, thermal and cavitation damage assessment and prediction.

Experience:Multiphysics computational simulation of laser-induced bubble dynamics near soft and hard boundaries, and/or experimental skills in convective heat transfer analysis applied to phase change processes preferably induced by long-pulsed NIR laser irradiation. Experience in cavitation monitoring and damage assessment will be helpful.

Skills: Essential skills in conducting independent research and collaborations within a vibrant multidisciplinary team of mechanical and biomedical engineers, material scientists, and clinicians. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including formal writing skills. A strong dedication to research and work ethic, with a positive attitude in a team-based collaborative environment. The candidate must pay attention to details and proactively follow up after meetings to achieve lab agendas/goals in a timely manner.
