SULI - AMD - Behrens, Jan - 6.17.26

This internship offers the chance to contribute to a cutting-edge research project
with Argonne’s Extreme Materials and Interfaces group. The focus is on
developing an AI-guided discovery platform for multifunctional coatings in
extreme environments. As an intern, you would join a multidisciplinary team
working to build and validate a human-supervised, AI-driven workflow that
accelerates the design of refractory high-entropy alloy coatings-materials critical
for applications facing extreme temperatures, mechanical stress, and corrosive
conditions.
The project integrates literature review, data curation, active learning,
Multiphysics simulation, and advanced experimental validation using
synchrotron x-ray techniques. You’ll gain hands-on experience in scientific data
analysis, machine learning, and materials characterization, and contribute to the
creation of microstructure-to-property maps that can transform how advanced
coatings are designed for the energy, manufacturing, and transportation sectors.
This opportunity is ideal for students interested in materials science, mechanical
engineering, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence
