[交流] Mechanical Engineering PhD Position at University at Buffalo

The Soft Matter and Interfacial Phenomena Laboratory (SaIL) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University at Buffalo is seeking a talented PhD student to work on computational modeling of biomembranes and their interactions with environmental pollutants.

The University at Buffalo (UB) is a flagship institution in the 64-campus State University of New York (SUNY) system and a member of the prestigious AAU. Located in Western New York, UB is the largest, most comprehensive public university in SUNY, with a student population of more than 30,000 on three campuses – the Downtown Campus, South Campus, and North Campus. UB is No. 36 among 225 public universities in U.S. News & World Report's 2025 Best Colleges rankings and 76th among best national universities, which includes public and private colleges and universities. UB's mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering programs ranked No.56 and No.35 in the country, respectively.

As SaIL, we take a transdisciplinary approach to uncovering new physics and mechanics in soft materials and biological systems, with the goal of advancing material design and manufacturing for novel products and industries. Our research combines theoretical analysis, computational simulations, data-driven modeling, and experimental investigations to explore complex transport phenomena at material interfaces, establish process-structure-property relationships, and design new functional materials. We focus on applications in advanced manufacturing, health care, and environmental sustainability. Our lab has a strong record of preparing researchers for academic careers, with alumni securing tenure-track positions at top research universities like the University of Alabama and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Current research topics include but are not limited to
• Membrane shape remodeling in biological processes and biomanufacturing
• Colloidal assembly and transport at fluid and biological interfaces
• Machine-learning and data-driven modeling of biological locomotion and active matter
• Electrospray deposition of multiphase polymeric droplets

Qualifications:
• Interested in fundamental research in colloid and interface science. Be passionate and self-motivated to venture into new areas and do important/revolutionary work.
• B.S. or M.S. in chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, or biomolecular engineering. M.S. with project/research experience and publication record is strongly preferred.
• Strong background in applied math and physics. Knowledge of biophysics, organic chemistry, or computational chemistry is beneficial.
• Good programming skills in C/C++, Python, or MATLAB are required.
• Experience with all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and software (specifically GROMACS, AMBER, or NAMD) is strongly preferred.
• Communicate well and are open to collaboration.

How to Apply:
Interested candidates are invited to email Dr. Xin Yong (xinyong@buffalo.edu) with a CV, contact information of 2-3 references, and a brief description of your research experience and motivation. More information about admissions and applications can be found at: https://engineering.buffalo.edu/ ... te/admissions.html.
