Multiple PhD student Openings in Professor Yanliang Zhang’s Lab (美国圣母大学)

Professor Yanliang Zhang’s lab at the University of Notre Dame (A top 20 University in US) has PhD student openings. Zhang lab is Pioneering autonomous multi-materials and multiscale manufacturing methods and systems to enable transformative advances in sustainable energy, personalized health, and soft robotics.
We have multiple openings for fully funded PhD students to work on the following projects in collaboration with world-class researchers on bioprinting, thermoelectrics and digital twins.
•        🫀 Autonomous bioprinting of vascularized tissues for regenerative medicine (in collaboration with Prof. Y. Shrike Zhang at Harvard Medical School)
•        ⚡ Flexible and wearable thermoelectric devices for thermal management and energy harvesting (in collaboration with Prof. Jeff Snyder at Northwestern University)
•        ⚛️ Digital Twins for 4D Spatiotemporal Prediction of Advanced Nuclear Power Plants (in collaboration with Prof. Jian-Xun Wang at Cornell University, and Alexander Heifetz and Evan Ogren at Argonne National Laboratory)
Our lab's groundbreaking research has been published in top journals including Nature, Nature Chemical Engineering, Advanced Materials, Energy & Environmental Science, etc. Our research is multidisciplinary in nature, and we welcome students of all engineering and science majors to apply. The students have the opportunity to receive a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, and also a PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering if they participate in the MSE PhD program.
Interested applicants should send resume to Prof. Zhang by email: yzhang45@nd.edu. In addition, the PhD applicants need to complete online application before the deadline Dec. 31. The GRE score is not required for the application.
Yanliang Zhang is a Full Professor and the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Collegiate Chair. He is a recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation Career Award, and Young Investigator Award from International Thermoelectric Society.
