Jianqi Xi

Assistant Professor

Dr. Xi's research interests include synergistic effects of radiation and corrosion on structural materials; chemical degradation of claddings in corrosive environments (e.g., molten salt, high-temperature water, and air); multiscale modeling of microstructure evolutions of materials under irradiation; and data-driven/ML material design with desirable radiation/corrosion-resistant properties.
