Our lab specializes in Multi-physics-based Advanced Manufacturing dedicated to advancing infrastructures essential for the Internet of Things. Our applications include, but are not limited to 1) design: scale-up processes for flexible electronics, 5G/6G communication devices, fatigue test for drill pipes, and robots for flexible object manipulation; 2) fabrication: scalable manufacturing of flexible electronics and multi-physics self-assembly technologies; 3) metrology: monitoring methods for roll-to-roll and 3D printing processes, full-field non-destructive evaluation (NDE) for rotating structures, and diagnosis of animal/ food physiological parameters, etc.
We are seeking highly self-motivated graduate and undergraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers, with a keen interest in image processing, vibrations, solid mechanics, and/ or heat transfer on their applications in advanced manufacturing, smart pharmacy packaging, mechanical design, and/ or metrology. Please contact Dr. Feng by email, attaching your CV, all transcripts, standardized test scores (e.g. GRE, TOEFL, or IELTS, etc.), and clearly specify your interest in particular projects or areas. Experience in linear algebra, partial differential equations, numerical analysis, and/ or coding software is preferred.
We aim to recruit one to two Ph.D. students specializing in multi-physics-based development of advanced manufacturing, design, and measurement processes every single year. Here are some potential research projects:
1) Multi-physics analysis of web wrinkling in roll-to-roll systems；
2) Acoustic-based manufacturing;
3) Contact mechanics for web lamination;
4) Thermomechanics analysis for thermal-annealing-based processes;
5) Photoelastic for thin films testing;
6) Computer vision and robotics；
7) Image processing for structures.
We also welcome postdoctoral researchers and visiting scholars, as permitted by funding.
