Doctoral Program Mechanics
SchoolThe PhD in Mechanics program at EPFL focuses on the nonlinear mechanics of transformations in solids, geo- and bio-materials, and fluid flows, covering theoretical formulation, numerical simulation, and experimental identification. Emphasizing contemporary multiscale models and micro-macro scale bridging methods, the program aims to train highly knowledgeable research scientists in modern continuum mechanics. Research areas include biomechanics, geomechanics, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration between engineering, life sciences, and medicine. The program offers a comprehensive approach combining theoretical, numerical, and experimental methods to address mechanics problems and translate research into practical applications.
