Original job description

Materials as MachinesLab

Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Carleton University | Ottawa, Canada

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join the Materials as Machines (MM) Lab at Carleton University to develop architected surfaces for the mitigation and repulsion of lunar regolith.

Lunar regolith presents a significant challenge for future space exploration. Fine, abrasive, and electrostatically charged particles can adhere strongly to surfaces, affecting mechanisms, thermal management systems, optical components, sensors, and other spacecraft hardware.

This PhD project will investigate how surface architecture, materials, and advanced manufacturing can be combined to create surfaces that actively or passively reduce regolith accumulation and promote particle removal.

Research Areas

The project may explore combinations of:

Architected and microstructured surfaces for controlling particle–surface interactions
Additive manufacturing and advanced fabrication of functional surfaces
Electrostatic and/or electrically activated approaches for regolith repulsion
Conductive, dielectric, and multifunctional polymer systems
Surface geometry and material-property optimization
Experimental characterization of particle adhesion, transport, and removal
Numerical modelling of particle–surface interactions
Design and testing under conditions relevant to lunar environments

Candidate Profile

We are looking for candidates with a strong background in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a closely related field.

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be particularly valuable:

Additive manufacturing / 3D printing
Experimental mechanics and materials characterization
Polymer or composite materials
Surface engineering
Electrostatics or electromechanical systems
Computational modelling or optimization
Design and fabrication of experimental systems

The ideal candidate will enjoy hands-on experimental research, designing and building new systems, and working across the boundaries of materials, manufacturing, and aerospace engineering.

Research Environment

The student will join the Materials as Machines (MM) Lab at Carleton University, where we develop advanced material systems that integrate structure and function through additive manufacturing, smart materials, and architected design.

The project will provide opportunities to develop expertise spanning advanced manufacturing, functional materials, surface engineering, and space technologies.

Position Details

Degree: PhD in Mechanical Engineering
Location: Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
Funding: Fully funded PhD position
Start date: Flexible / to be discussed

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send:

CV
Academic transcripts
A short description of their research interests and relevant experience

Applications should be sent to mmlab@cunet.carleton.ca with the subject line:

“PhD – Architected Surfaces for Regolith Repulsion”
