Dr. Xiang Zhang

My current research efforts focus on multiphysics and multiscale modeling of high-performance materials (including metals and composites) and advanced manufacturing process. My long-term goal for research is to establish the microstructure-processing-performance relationship for material design and manufacturing through the development of advanced computation models and active interactions with experiments. Current projects primary focus on 1) modeling the deformation and damage in metals and fiber-reinforced composites, at both material microscale and structural scale; 2) modeling polymer and polymeric composites manufacturing process with its application in frontal polymerization and 3D printing.
