Dr. Jun Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Santa Clara University (SCU). He leads SCU’s GIFTED (Geometric Informatics For Technology, Engineering, and Design) lab. The GIFTED lab aims to push the frontier of research in design and manufacturing by leveraging advanced techniques in geometric modeling, machine learning, and advanced manufacturing. Specifically, the lab focuses on overcoming scientific barriers in achieving Data-Driven Design/Simulation/Manufacturing (Inverse Design & Generative Design), Physics-Driven Design, and Design for Additive Manufacturing. The research objective is to leverage Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Cloud-Computing power to generate diverse but performance-equivalent designs in short time scales, given functionality and manufacturability.

The GIFTED lab is recruiting highly motivated Ph.D. and Master students with a research interest in Geometric Modeling/Simulation, Computer Graphics, and Data-Driven Design.
•Experience with IGA (Isogeometric Analysis)/FEA/CFD platforms (e.g., LS-DYNA, Abaqus, FEniCS, OpenFOAM), geometric modeling/graphics platforms (CGAL, GIBBON), and machine learning platforms (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), will be highly valued for this position.
•Ideal candidates are expected to have a BS or master’s (needed for the Ph.D. program) degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering, Mathematics, or closely related fields.
•It is desirable that the candidate has strong programming experience in Python/C++/Matlab and mathematical background in statistics and probability.
•Fluent communication skills (verbal, presentation, and writing in English) are required to interact with technical peers, scholars, and sponsors effectively.
