Undergraduate Researchers
We have openings for undergraduate students to join us through UB’s Experiential Learning Network program to explore cutting-edge AI methods that could revolutionize how we understand, design, and optimize new materials. Check out our project description there, and email Jiayu (jypeng@buffalo.edu) with an attached CV and transcript.
Ph.D. and Master’s Students
We have multiple openings for self-motivated Ph.D. and Master’s students to join our research group in Fall 2026! Currently, we take in students through the following two UB’s graduate programs:
Prospective graduate students interested in joining our group are encouraged to directly email Jiayu (jypeng@buffalo.edu) with an attached CV and transcript and use the email subject line “Prospective Student – [Your Name].” We welcome new students from diverse academic backgrounds, including but not limited to materials science, chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computational and information science. Past academic experience in any of the following subjects is helpful: solid-state physics, physical chemistry, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, or deep learning, but no prior computational modeling experience is necessary as long as you are highly motivated to learn and apply new skills in our group.
Postdoctoral Researchers
We are not hiring postdoctoral researchers at this moment.
