Program Overview

Program Description:

The Multiscale Computations & Materials (MCM) Laboratory at the School of Materials Science & Engineering, MSE, Pusan National University (PNU), Busan, South Korea is seeking for international students for the PhD program that the School offers in the field of mechanical metallurgy and computational mechanics.

The official starting date for the degree program is March 1, 2014. The qualified students must obtain Bachelor's or Master's degree in the field of MSE or Mechanical Engineering before February 28, 2014 in order to be eligible for the PhD program.

PNU-MSE has been offering one of the nation's leading undergraduate and graduate programs in the field of MSE. The graduate program of PNU-MSE currently has an unprecedented opportunity to excel its superiority in research and development by winning the BK21 Plus program (for supporting the graduate students) and the Global Frontier program (the nation's biggest research funds).

Setting Description:

The MCM lab at PNU-MSE is a newly starting lab (led by Professor Y.S. Choi), well balanced between multiscale materials computations (micro-to-continuum mechanics) and materials characterization (3D microstructures, EBSD, etc). Scholarships are available, based upon qualification.

Cost:

As a part of the globalization of the research programs the MCM lab is actively seeking for international graduate students. Applicants should send their Curriculum Vitae, which include GPA, TOEFL score (if any), and the list of at least three references, to professor Y.S. Choi no later than September 30, 2013.
