Dr. Xiangbo (Henry) Meng is an Assistant Professor in Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Arkansas (Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA). Dr. Meng’s research features nanosynthesis using atomic layer deposition (ALD) for novel nanostructured materials, but has great interests in other synthesis methodologies including various solution-based methods, chemical and physical vapor deposition. Another feature of Dr. Meng’s research lies in design of high-performance electrochemical devices for energy conversion and storage, especially new battery systems using lithium, sodium, and magnesium. Dr. Meng in Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Arkansas (Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA) is enrolling a PhD student in Energy Materials for Spring/Summer 2019. The students will receive exceptional trainings in materials synthesis, electrochemistry, battery design, and surface engineering. By conducting collaborative projects with Argonne National Laboratory (IL, USA) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (TN, USA), the students will get accesses to utilize world-class facilities (such as synchrotron-based techniques and high-resolution electron microscopies) and opportunities to work with many of the most brilliant scientists for high-impact research. To be fully considered, potential candidates should also meet the minimum requirements on GPA and English proficiency (TOEFL (79) /IELTS (6.5), and GRE (154/145/3.0 on Q/V/AW)).
