Ph.D. Students
The group recruits 1–2 Ph.D. students every year.
Our research emphasizes fundamental studies of the physics of flow in porous media; each Ph.D. student independently carries one research direction and pursues original scientific exploration. We expect applicants to have strong habits of independent thinking and critical reasoning, a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, and the courage to raise and debate well-reasoned dissenting ideas.
Ph.D. admission proceeds through three channels:
- September recommendation-based admission for exceptional undergraduates (direct Ph.D.);
- The application-assessment system (regular Ph.D.);
- The research-funded Ph.D. program (no on-campus dormitory; an additional housing allowance of RMB 4,000–5,000 per month). Please consult the Peking University Graduate School and the academic affairs office of the College of Mechanics and Engineering Science for details.
Master’s Students
The group recruits 0–2 master’s students every year.
Master’s admission is through the Master of Engineering program in Mechanical Engineering at the College of Mechanics and Engineering Science, Peking University.
Please consult the Peking University Graduate School and the College for details of the Master of Engineering admission.
Undergraduate Research
The group opens 0–2 undergraduate research positions every year.
Undergraduates, under the guidance of Ph.D. students, semi-independently explore a compact yet systematic scientific question in the physics of flow in porous media. The research direction is unrestricted: interest-driven and imaginative conceptual explorations are encouraged. Interested students are welcome to contact Prof. Ke Xu directly by e-mail.
