Principle Investigator
Dr. Nick Ginga
Nick Ginga is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He obtained his Masters and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech and has held postdoctoral research positions at The University of Michigan and Georgia Tech in both Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. His lab has interests that include mechanical testing and finite element modeling of flexible electronics and electronic packaging, thin film fracture mechanics, fabrication and characterization of nano/microstructures and devices, and the interface of nano/micro fabrication and biosystems.
Graduate Students
Wesley Knee
Master's Student
Wesley Knee is a graduate research assistant and master's student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. His work focuses on the use of finite element analysis to explore the mechanical response of commercial lithium batteries under quasi-static loading. The goal, of which, is to provide a better insight into the failure mechanism of lithium batteries to support safety regulations and reuse programs.
