The Materials Science and Engineering Program (group of Nan Wang) is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to lead research projects in computational materials science related to additive manufacturing technology and nano-electronics. Contract duration: 2-3 years.
Macroscopic behaviors of many technologically important materials are originated from mechanisms at meso-scale where defects, interfaces and non-equilibrium structures are the key. Computational methods based on non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics are used to simulate complex dynamics of defects and interfaces, shed light on underlying mechanisms, and provide vital guidance to experimental studies. With recent progresses in material informatics and close experiment collaborations, significant impacts from computational methods are expected in emerging fields like 3D alloy printing and nano electronics.
Thermodynamics, non-equilibrium, meso-scale, computational modeling, interfaces, dynamic instability, nanostructure, microstructure evolution, multiscale analysis.
