Jiayu Wang

I am a PhD student at l’Institut Jean Le Rond d’Alembert, Sorbonne University, France.

I am always curious about how things work in nature, and I’d love to explain them by science.

My PhD research focuses on elasto-capillary interactions, exploring how elasticity and capillarity interplay in mechanical systems. Additionally, I study structural mechanics, analyzing instabilities and nonlinear behaviors. My methods are deeply connected to optimization, stability analysis, and bifurcation theory.

My primary focus is on theoretical modeling and numerical analysis. I write my own code with CasADi in Python. You can find some interesting videos of my simulations in the Gallery part.
