The researcher will study how polymer structure and rheology determine processability, including extrusion, compounding and fiber spinning. Experiments examine viscoelastic behavior, multilayers and interfaces, and preservation of microstructures during processing. The work connects fundamental materials research with industrial applications, publications…

Develop magnetic-resonance imaging and particle-tracking methods to investigate how granular materials flow, mix and deform. The doctoral project combines experimental equipment development with studies of soft and irregular particles.
Investigate how friction and particle geometry determine the collective flow of concentrated suspensions. Develop particle-scale simulations, compare them with experimental data and use the results to connect microscopic interactions to macroscopic mechanics.
A fully funded four-year PhD in ETH Zurich’s Robotic Materials group investigates materials whose mechanical modulus, viscoelasticity and flow behavior can be programmed within one continuous body. Work includes dynamic covalent polymer-composite synthesis, rheological characterization, theory and multiphysics simulation, and fabrication of soft robotic…
