The Moore Dynamics and Analytics Laboratory (MoDAL) is always looking for new researchers to join the team. If interested, please contact Dr. Moore through email or through MS Teams.
Undergraduate Students
We are currently recruiting undergraduate students to pursue research in a variety of areas in MoDAL. Potential students are encouraged to contact Dr. Moore through email or through MS Teams.
Graduate StudentsWe are currently do not have any funded PhD positions but are always looking for good students. Potential students are encouraged to contact Dr. Moore through email or through MS Teams.
Visiting ScholarsMoDAL welcomes international scholars to apply for a self-funded or unfunded visiting position.
ResearchVision
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.
MoDAL research is performed through partnerships and support from many different federal and private organizations.
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.
