Joining the lab

I am always interested in new scientists/engineers joining our team.

Previous experience with fluid mechanics/aerodynamics, turbulence, wind tunnel experimentation (such as PIV), data visualization or machine learning is advantageous. Experience with Matlab or Python also beneficial.

There are a number of funding opportunities available for postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students and I would be happy to support the application of someone who would be a good fit for the lab.

Prospective PhD students

We encourage you to apply to the UW AA PhD program (deadline: early/mid-December). In your application, please indicate your interest in Professor Leung’s group. After submitting your application, you may email Professor Williams with the subject “Prospective PhD student” and include the following:

• Brief background

• Research interests and highlights (including descriptions of impactful projects)

• CV/resume

• Transcripts

• Any additional relevant materials

While Professor Williams is often unable to respond to every email due to volume, all messages are read and applications carefully considered after the deadline and he will reach out to those students will the best alignment with upcoming projects.

Masters STudents

A number of exciting projects projects are almost always available for Masters students, however these are not always associated with funding.

Please reach out to enquire about upcoming projects. When reaching out, please highlight evidence of independent research, conceptualization, design, building/manufacture and testing processes, or any project that you feel best highlights hands-on or problem solving skills. Writing samples are also encouraged.

Undergraduate students

Undergraduates looking for research experience should contact Prof. Williams (ojhw@uw.edu). There are many exciting projects in measurement, design and data analysis to which you can contribute. UWAL crew are especially encouraged!
