Who We Are
At Michigan Engineering, we develop the talent and technologies that move society forward and serve our state and national interests. Through discovery and innovation, we create the foundational knowledge and practical technologies to solve not only today's most pressing challenges, but also power industries and change lives. Our programs and community are designed to promote personal well-being and achievement - enabling everyone to unlock their potential and contribute with confidence.
Job Summary
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position as part of an NSF-funded project focused on understanding the relationships among particle geometry, packing structure, force transmission, and mechanical properties in dense assemblies of faceted, nonspherical granular particles. This multi-PI project integrates graph/network theory, granular mechanics, 3D X-ray diffraction and imaging, and discrete element method simulations. The successful candidate will join a collaborative experimental-computational team led by Prof. Hongyi Xiao and Prof. Ashley Bucsek at the University of Michigan and with opportunities at national synchrotron facilities.
One of the hallmarks of granular materials is the complexity of their particle shapes. Real-world granular materials often consist of particles with flat surfaces, edges, and corners, including minerals formed through crystallization, ceramics produced by comminution, and building blocks used in durable ancient architecture. This project will use graph theory to represent and analyze the contact networks of faceted, nonspherical particles. Graph-based descriptors will be constructed from X-ray-based 3D in-situ characterization methods, including High-Energy Diffraction Microscopy and Micro-Computed Tomography, and supported by Discrete Element Method simulations.
The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to one or more aspects of the project, including graph/network construction and analysis, 3D in-situ X-ray diffraction and imaging experiments, and discrete element method simulations. Applicants with strong expertise in any one of these areas and an interest in interdisciplinary collaboration are encouraged to apply.
