Opportunities

From Moore Analytics and Dynamics Laboratory

The Moore Dynamics and Analytics Laboratory (MoDAL) is always looking for new researchers to join the team. If interested, please contact Dr. Moore email or through Discord.

Research

Vision

MoDAL synergistically combines theory, mathematical and computational modeling, and experimentation to understand and exploit strongly nonlinear dynamical phenomena. Our vision is to place nonlinear dynamics in the toolbox of every vibration engineer. Our approach is to leverage data, machine learning, and autonomy to remove barriers for utilizing and understanding nonlinearity.

Partners & Support

MoDAL research is performed through partnerships and support from many different federal and private organizations.

Team Structure

Researchers in MoDAL are given their own projects and are responsible for all theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects of that project. This approach ensures that the researchers become experts on all fronts in their specific projects/disciplines while preventing disconnects that arise when analysis and experimentation are split between researchers. When a project calls for expertise from multiple areas, researchers are then paired based on their expertise and work together on all aspects of the project.

Opportunities

Opportunities for Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students are encouraged to contact Dr. Moore directly as there are always opportunities to perform research, though not all opportunities provide financial support. In addition to contacting Dr. Moore, students are strongly encouraged to visit the UCARE website to search for current opportunities and projects.

Opportunities for Graduate Students

Candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Moore directly as funding opportunities are always evolving. US Citizens and members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to contact Dr. Moore directly.

Opportunities for Visiting Scholars

The Moore Dynamics and Analytics Laboratory welcomes international scholars to apply for a visiting position. Currently, we are recruiting for one to two open positions for visiting scholars.
