PhD graduate Yang Liu joined Northeastern University as assistant professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

It is my great pleasure to announce that our former PhD student of the research group, Dr. Yang Liu has accepted a tenure-track position as assistant professor of mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University. Yang currently works as a postdoctoral scholar at the Institute For Soldier Nanotechnologies of MIT. She is the first PhD graduate of our research group. In 2015, she won the best paper competition among students from more than 100 minisymposia at USNCCM San Diego. She has published the following two journal articles during her tenure in our group.  

• Y. Liu, W.C. Sun, J. Fish, Determining material parameters for critical state plasticity models based on multilevel extended digital database, Journal of Applied Mechanics, 88(1),  doi: 10.1115/1.4031619, 2015. [PDF][Bibtex]
• Y. Liu, W.C. Sun, Z-F. Yuan, J. Fish, A nonlocal multiscale discrete-continuum model for predicting mechanical behavior of granular materials,  International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, doi: 10.1002/nme.5139, 2015. [PDF] [Bibtex]

​Congratulations Yang for this wonderful accomplishment!
