Ju Li joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2002, after receiving a PhD in Nuclear Engineering at MIT followed by post-doctoral work at MIT. His research interests span a broad range of materials theory, including: first principles predictions and nanoindentation characterization of ideal strength in Al, Cu, and Si; empirical potential construction for ZrCx; thermal modeling transport in SiO2 and irradiated SiC/ZrC; dislocation core structure and mobility in bcc metals and semiconductors; strength of amorphous and nanocrystalline solids such as carbides and nitrides; hydrogen storage in nanostructures; mesoscopic modeling of plasticity. He is the author of free molecular visualization software called AtomEye.
