After completing his Masters degree this August, with his thesis, “Computational Analysis of Piezoelectric Systems Using a Coupled Multiphysics Finite Element Model“, Zhiren has joined Berkel and Company in Silver Spring, Maryland, as a junior foundation engineer.

Prof. Somnath Ghosh will give a keynote lecture at the USNCCM14 conference entitled, “Computational framework involving spatial and temporal multi-scaling for coupled transient electromagnetics-mechanical phenomena” at the Multiphysics Computation and Coupled Effects minisymposia session on Wednesday July 19th. This conference is held at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal, QC, Canada, from July 17th to July 20th. Two other members of CMRL, Deniz Oztürk and George Weber, both PhD students, will be presenting their work at this meeting.

Congratulations to Jiaxi Zhang! He successfully defended his thesis entitled, “Developing a Crack Propagation Model in the Metallic Materials from Self-Consistent Coupled Atomistic-Continuum Model” on Friday June 9th, 2017. Members of his thesis committee included, Prof. Somnath Ghosh, his thesis advisor, Prof. Benjamin Schafer, Prof. Lori Graham-Brady, Prof. Jaafar El-Awady and Prof. Mark Robbins.

Jiaxi has been a member of Prof. Ghosh’s Computational Mechanics Research Laboratory (CMRL), since 2010 at Ohio State University. He later moved to Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Ghosh in 2011 to pursue his PhD in the Department of Civil Engineering. He is the final member of the Ohio State University students that follow Prof. Ghosh to Johns Hopkins University, to complete his doctoral degree, following his colleagues, Coleman Alleman, Jiahao Cheng and Shu Guo.  We wish him all the best!
