About the Jiang Group

We develop computational tools to discover, design, and optimize materials and product systems, with a focus on soft materials and their applications in energy and sustainability.

We integrate:

  • Molecular modeling and simulation to understand structure, dynamics, and transport in soft materials
  • Data science and machine learning to learn interpretable process–structure–property relationships
  • Systems engineering to navigate trade-offs and optimize designs under real-world constraints

Join Us

We are recruiting PhD students and postdoctoral researchers for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027.

If you’re drawn to problems at the intersection of theory, simulation, and machine learning — and care about soft materials for energy and sustainability — we’d be glad to hear from you.

See the openings page for full details and application instructions, or email sjiang87@shenglijiang.com directly.
