Dr. Liming Xiong earned his PhD and M.S. in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at University of Florida and George Washington University, respectively. His research focuses on the development of atomistic-to continuum modeling methods and their applications in simulating mechanical, thermal , and mass transport behavior in materials with an aim of designing them from the bottom up for aerospace, mechanical, nuclear, chemical, and civil engineering applications. The muti-scale materials modeling method that he has developed attracted attentions and collaborations from both academia and industries nationwide
