"We have a funded PhD opportunity on the topic, 'Physics-Informed Vibration-Based Structural Health Monitoring of Wheel-Rail Contact Defects', under my supervision (and co-supervised by Parvaneh Zare). This opportunity is now open for applications. This project develops physics-informed machine learning models for vibration-based detection of wheel-rail defects. Combining railway dynamics, sensor measurements, numerical modelling, signal processing, and laboratory experiments, it aims to create reliable, interpretable monitoring systems that adapt to changing operating conditions, improving defect detection and supporting safer, smarter, and more sustainable railway transportation systems.

"PhD Opportunity: Food Microbiology & Biofilm Persistence at Penn State University Why do some foodborne pathogens survive cleaning and sanitation—and keep returning in food-processing environments? Dr. Valentina Trinetta’s Food Microbiology and Safety Applied Laboratory is seeking a motivated PhD student to investigate microbial biofilm persistence, community dynamics, and sanitizer tolerance. Biofilms can protect pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes on food-contact surfaces, making sanitation more difficult. This research combines traditional microbiology with advanced molecular tools, genomics, and data-driven modelling to understand microbial survival and improve food-safety interventions. Research focus: 🔬 Biofilm persistence and microbial ecology 🧪 Culture-dependent and culture-independent characterisation 🧬 Digital PCR, genomic sequencing, and bioinformatics 📊 Predictive modelling and sanitizer-rotation strategies Who should apply: B.S. or M.S. in Food Science, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or a related field Experience or strong interest in microbiology, biofilm assays, DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, or sequencing Interest in bioinformatics, statistics, or machine learning Strong analytical, written, and communication skills Position details: 🎓 PhD in Food Science 📅 Anticipated start: Fall 2027 💰 Assistantship details will be provided during recruitment How to apply: Email Dr. Valentina Trinettarinetta at [email protected] Subject line: “Ph.D. Position Inquiry – Biofilm Persistence” Include: Brief statement of research interests, relevant experience, and career goals CV/résumé Unofficial academic transcripts Contact details for 2–3 academic or professional references. This is a strong opportunity for graduates interested in food safety, environmental microbiology, sanitation science, genomics, and data-driven research.
