Dr. Xu gave a talk entitled “Failure Model of Separators based on Statistical Analysis of Microstructures” at the 11th MIT workshop on Computational Modeling of Lithium-ion Batteries for Crash Safety on Nov. 13, 2019.

Dr. Xu gave an invited talk in the mechanical engineering seminar at Stony Brook University on Oct 25: “Uncertainty Quantification Methods for Stochastic Microstructure Characterization and Reconstruction“.

Our recent work on image-based microstructure modeling of additively manufactured alloys has been presented in the 4th ASTM Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured Materials (Oct 7~10, 2019 at Oxon Hill, MD).

Zihan Wang (the first PhD student) will start to work with Dr. Xu in Fall 2019.

Mr. Xianping Du will work with Prof. Xu during the summer on research topics related to uncertainty quantification.

Mr. Du is a Ph.D. student at Embry-riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Dr. Xu presented one paper at World Congress of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, Beijing, China. This work is nominated for the ISSMO/Springer Prize 2019. Continue reading →
