Wei Gao's blog

One postdoc and multiple PhD positions are available at mechanical engineering at Texas A&M university in college station, Texas, working with Prof. Wei Gao. The research project will focus on mechanics and materials research with AI and machine learning approaches. The applicants are expected to have background in mechanics, physics or materials.

A postdoctoral associate and Phd positions are available at Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University with Prof. Wei Gao. Both positions can start as early as 8/16/2022. The research project will focus broadly on studying the mechanics of materials with multsicale modeling combined with AI and machine learning methods.  The work is highly interdisciplinary and involves collaborations with experimentalists at TAMU. You may read more about Prof. Gao’s research at www.gao-group.org.

Dear colleagues,

In this journal club, we provide a brief summary on the concept, recent progress and tools of machine learning (ML) potential for atomistic materials modelling. We hope that it could benefit to the readers who are new to this filed and plan to develop their own or use others ML potentials. Comments and disscussions are welcomed. 

A postdoctoral associate position is available at University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) with Prof. Wei Gao, starting 9/1/2021. The candidate is expected to have a strong background in materials modeling, with at least one of the following skills: density functional theory, molecular dynamics, phase field method and machine learning. The research project will focus broadly on studying the phase transformation and related mechanical behavior in structural and functional materials.

Two fully funded PhD positions are available immediately in Dr. Wei Gao’s research group at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The research will be on computational and experimental study on engineering and biological materials. UTSA is located in San Antonio, Texas, a vibrant city of more than 1.6 million people, with significant economic growth and numerous industrial establishments. The city and the University provide excellent cultural and educational opportunities as well as exceptional employment opportunities.

The Mechanics of Biological Materials/Structures Laboratory at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Research Associate position working on a NIH supported research project. In this five-year research project, we intend to elucidate the effect of proteoglycans on the age-related deterioration of bone quality and to develop therapeutic strategies for preventing or deterring such adverse effect.
