In MEMS fields, a need arises in engineering practice to predict accurately the nonlinear response of slender post-buckling beams, especially the nonlinear transverse stiffness. The bistability of the post-buckling beams is excellent in reducing power consumption of micro-devices or micro-systems. However, the major difficulty in analyzing the post-buckling and snap-through response is the intractability of the geometric nonlinear control equations of large deflection beams.

Seeking postdoctoral position on bistable MEMS, post-buckling analysis of structures, microsensors and microactuators, threshold accelerometers, electrostatically driven structures, optical switches, permanent magnetic actuator, solid mechanics and finite element method.
