Director of Multiscale Modeling of Materials Lab, Assistant Professor @ San Diego State University
Biography
Dr. Wenwu Xu received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Beijing University of Technology (China) in 2011. He then pursued postdoctoral research at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena (Germany) in 2012 and The University of Manchester (U.K.) in 2013-2015. In 2016, he joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Merced as a postdoc and then as a lecturer. In 2017/08, Dr. Xu joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at San Diego State University as an Assistant Professor.
Research Areas
Dr. Xu’s research interests include computational Multiscale Modeling of Materials (continuum, microscopic, atomistic, and quantum mechanics) and characterization of material microstructure at multiple scales from 2D (electron microscopy) to 3D (synchrotron X-ray computed tomography), and 4D (time-resolved tomography). His research emphasizes the coupling of experimental and theoretical investigations to reveal complex structural and functional behavior of material systems at the nanoscale.
