Join the Idrissi lab in the Department of Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering to explore the fascinating world of vibrations and waves. Our research blends theory, experiments, and computation to understand and control how waves propagate in complex media and structures.
We study topics such as:
- Using waves to control particles, energy, and information
- Mechanical metamaterials—engineered structures with unusual dynamic properties
- Applications in civil and aerospace engineering, and advanced technologies
Undergraduate research assistants will:
- Work closely with graduate students and PI on hands-on experiments and simulations
- Learn how to use MATLAB, COMSOL and other computational tools for wave and vibration analysis
- Gain experience with lab equipment for vibration testing and data acquisition
- Contribute to projects that may lead to conference presentations and publications
No prior research experience is required. Curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to learn are the key qualifications. This is an excellent opportunity if you are interested in structural dynamics, mechanics, aerospace applications, or just enjoy figuring out how things move and vibrate.
This position is open for Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Physics, and Mathematics students.
