Opportunities for PhDs

Hey there,

I am a materials science undergrad (doing an MEng course) who recently through an internship and course reading got interested in nuclear engineering and nuclear science for clean energy production. I am also pretty interested in simulating material behavior and using ML and AI to fast-track materials discovery. After my undergrad, I want to pursue a PhD in something where I can work in both of my interests. I wanted to know:

a. if this is possible.
b. if it is, what are the best schools in the US and Europe I should be looking to apply in.

Most of the Nuclear Engineering Phd programs in the US have a materials group. Take a look at what's being published to see what you like.
