发帖数: 29 | 1 We are currently looking for passionate and highly-motivated Ph.D. students
to carry out analytical and computational studies on micro-/nanofluidics and
soft materials. The focus of our research group encompasses modeling the
following phenomena: electrokinetic flows in confined geometries, deposition
of colloidal particles during evaporation, dynamic self-assembly of
nanoparticles, self-healing polymer nanocomposites, vesicle-particle
interactions, and wetting and slip on superhydrophobic surfaces. Due to the
multi-disciplinary nature of our research, which spans mechanical
engineering, physics and materials science, we invite students with various
backgrounds to join our group. The candidate must have a strong background
in theory and simulation and be proficient in C/C++. Experience in specific
simulation techniques (molecular simulations, dissipative particle dynamics,
or lattice Boltzmann method) is preferred, and knowledge of either
statistical mechanics, fluid dynamics, interfacial phenomena or polymer
physics is highly desirable. Interested students should send their
curriculum vitae with a brief description of their research interests to Dr.
Xin Yong at [email protected]
/* */ for consideration.
Dr. Xin Yong received his bachelor's degree in Physics from Peking
University in China (2007), and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2012). His thesis was focused on revealing
the underlying physics of slip at fluid-solid interfaces and designing
nanoengineered low-friction surfaces by molecular simulations. Before
joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Binghamton University,
he was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Pittsburgh, where he
applied various computational techniques to design bio-inspired functional
materials, including regenerative nanocomposites, self-healing nanocarriers,
and bioconjugate polymer systems. He has published multiple research
articles in highly regarded peer-reviewed journals including Nano Letters,
ACS Nano and Angewandte Chemie International Edition. His work has attracted
wide attention and was featured in Nature Nanotechnology, BBC News and
Yahoo News. His current research interests encompass micro-/nanofluidics,
stimuli-responsive soft materials, colloidal self-assembly, and interfacial
phenomena, with applications to renewable energy harvesting/conversion,
nanotechnology, and next-generation advanced materials.
