Undergraduate research opportunity: Molecular dynamics simulations for studying fluid flows
Professor Piyush Grover in Mechanical and Materials Engineering has an immediate opening in his Dynamical Systems Lab for an undergraduate student to do research:
Title: Molecular dynamics simulations for studying fluid flows
Pay: $15/hour
Hours: 10/week
Date: Starting immediately
Duration: 6 months
Description: This position will involve writing and running molecular dynamics simulations and analyzing the data generated through those simulations. The systems we will probe will include flows in nanochannels and heat conducting fluids. The ideal candidate will have taken courses in to fluid dynamics and differential equations and have experience in coding in MATLAB and/or C++/Python. A basic requirement for this position is an affinity for learning advanced math and programming techniques. Students will be taught all required skills in a supportive lab environment.
Math majors have worked in Professor Grover's lab before and enjoyed the experience. Interested students should contact Professor Grover directly at piyush.grover@unl.edu.
