Postdoc Position Available in Atomistic Modeling and Simulations of Nanomechanics and Thermal Science at The University of Virginia
A postdoctoral associate position is available in Dr. Baoxing Xu’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Virginia.
The successful candidate will work on a project related to nanomechanics and thermal transport of materials and functional structures and their coupling with applications in the design and manufacturing of electronic devices and structures.
PhD Positions Available in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Virginia
Funded PhD positions are available in Dr. Baoxing Xu’s group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Virginia. Educational background in mechanics, mechanical engineering, heat transfer, or nanomanufacturing is necessary. Research skill/experience in computational modeling and simulations is a plus.
Machine Learning for Fracture Mechanics
Safer batteries, more efficient gas-turbine engines and solar cells, all require better-engineered nanocomposite materials. There is a limitation though -- how to investigate the fracture mechanics of these materials? Machine learning can help us overcome this limitation.

Investigation of Spindle Rotation Rate Effects on the Mechanical Behavior of Friction Stir Welded Ti 4Al 2V Alloy
Nowadays, titanium and its alloys are widely utilized in various industrial parts in such areas as the petrochemical, medical, and automotive industries; However, due to structural considerations, the application is problematic in cases of joining. Ti 4Al 2V is a new type of titanium alloy, that in point of the structure is near to the α-series, which have many applications in critical conditions (moisture, steam, temperature, etc.).
