Lithium ion batteries with solid state electrolytes are prone to degradation by a range of mechanisms including dendrite formation, void formation and swell-induced fatigue and micro-cracking. The topology of the battery plays a role over a number of length scales, from macro scale geometry of battery to the microstructural scale of the cathode. The kinetics of plating and stripping of lithium at free surfaces play a major role, along with the role of topology in terms of both performance and failure mechanisms.

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, theoretically and computationally topics related to the dynamics of metamaterials, with specific emphasis on wave phenomena.  The position is available immediately, and potentially relevant backgrounds for the position include:

1. Phononic crystals

2. Acoustic or phononic bandgaps

3. Non-reciprocal wave propagation

There are at least one PhD position opening next year, starting in 08/2023 in Prof. Kevin Wang's research group at Virginia Tech. The new student(s) will work in multiphysics modeling and computation, focusing on fluid-structure and fluid-material interaction, with applications in biomedical, aerospace, ocean, and civil engineering. If you are interested in this position(s), please contact Prof. Kevin Wang at kevinwgy [at] vt.edu. Thanks.
