Open Positions
I am actively recruiting highly motivated and creative students and researchers to join my group. We are an interdisciplinary team working at the intersection of computational solid mechanics, machine learning, and uncertainty quantification. If you are passionate about developing novel computational tools and conducting high-impact research, I encourage you to reach out to me at: bahador[dot]bahmani[at]northwestern[dot]edu
Postdoctoral Researchers
Currently we have an opening.
Desired Background:
- Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, computer science, or related areas.
- Strong track record in computational modeling, machine learning, uncertainty quantification or high-performance computing.
- Excellent publication record and communication skills.
If interested, please send:
- CV
- One or two representative publications
- A brief statement of research interests
- Transcripts (unofficial)
Ph.D. Students
Students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Northwestern University, starting in Fall 2026, are encouraged to reach out between October and December 2025.
Please include the following in your email:
- CV
- Transcripts (unofficial)
- A short statement of research interests
- English proficiency scores (if applicable)
Undergraduate and Master's Students
If you are a current student at Northwestern and are interested in gaining research experience in computational mechanics and/or machine learning, please feel free to reach out. We have several ongoing projects that you can contribute to, and we are also open to co-designing a new research project that excites both you and our group. Prior research experience is not required—enthusiasm and commitment are far more important. You are welcome to stop by my office to discuss opportunities, or you can email me a short paragraph about your research interests along with your CV or resume.
