The Thermal Sciences & Engineering Team in the Energy Sciences Division of DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has an exciting internship opportunity tailored for PhD students in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, and related fields. The focus of this internship is on phase change composites with high thermal conductivity—an emerging field with immense potential for innovation and advancement.
As an intern, you'll collaborate with top researchers (both within ARL and across the research community), contributing to the development and discovery of materials, composites, and use cases that could revolutionize thermal management systems and energy storage solutions.
Your experiences in this internship will be diverse, ranging from modeling, to fabrication, to testing. You'll conduct experiments to explore the thermal properties of these composites under various conditions, synthesizing and fabricating materials using advanced techniques such as nanomaterial integration, additive manufacturing, photolithography, and advanced machining.
This internship offers a unique opportunity to apply your Mechanical Engineering studies to Army-relevant challenges, whether it's understanding heat transfer mechanisms or designing experiments to test hypotheses.
And importantly, you'll be part of an interdisciplinary team, collaborating with experts from diverse fields to push the boundaries of materials science and engineering.
If you're ready to contribute to groundbreaking research and make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply to join our team!
