Dr. Kailu Xiao will join Prof. Thomas’ group as a postdoctoral researcher in December 2021. She got her Ph.D. degree at the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in June 2021. Her Ph.D. thesis involves the multi-scale study of the dynamical behavior of two-dimensional materials, including carbon nanotube film, graphene, and graphdiyne. Her research interests focus on deformation behavior and shock wave propagation of block copolymer under high strain rates.
