Jiu Liu
"I have always been motivated toward achievement. The professional training in machining and manufacturing and, more importantly, in solving engineering problems provides me a solid foundation for my future career. A Ph.D. is a prerequisite in order to move up the career ladder. I am climbing one level higher by pursuing my Ph.D. at the University of Alabama."

- Jiu Liu, Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering


Shaoyi Wang
“In my graduate studies at the University of Alabama, I hope to draw on my previous research and work background as a foundation for learning more advanced concepts of operations research.  I am particularly interested in research about optimization algorithms and improving the performance of complex systems.”
- Shaoyi Wang, Master’s Student in Industrial Engineering and Graduate Council Fellow

Hyo-Joong Kim
"A Ph.D. degree from The University of Alabama will provide me with the fundamental knowledge needed to contribute to the field of Chemistry. I wish to devote myself to the development of science as a professor and a research scientist."

- Hyo-Joong Kim, Ph.D. student in Chemistry


Huateng Yang

Huateng Yang received his masters degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and then joined the University of Alabama as Ph.D. student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Xingshu Gao
"After I got my master's degree two years ago, I felt I still needed to know more about mechanical engineering. The University of Alabama has a good reputation and a qualified faculty. I believe that my graduate study at this university will help me achieve my goal.

A variety of courses and state-of-the-art facilities are provided by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I am not only able to concentrate on my specific research but also have opportunities to study in related fields. My adviser's instruction and encouragement also make my study more fruitful and enjoyable."

- Xingshu Gao, Mechanical Engineering with adviser, Dr. Sally McInerny, Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering & Mechanics
