Expert Bio

Jing Zhang is an associate professor of mechanical engineering. His research interests are broadly centered on understanding the processing-structure-property relationships in advanced ceramics and metals for optimal performance in application.

To this end, the research group employs a blend of experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches, focusing on several areas, including: * Processing-microstructure-property relationships: thermal barrier coating, solid oxide fuel cell and lithium-ion battery. * Physics-based multiscale models: ab initio, molecular dynamics, discrete element models and finite element models. * Coupled phenomena: diffusion-thermomechanical properties. * Additive manufacturing or 3D printing: Additive manufacturing materials characterization, additive manufacturing process (direct metal laser sintering) models.
