Postdoctoral Associates
The Math Department at Virginia Tech continually hosts several postdoctoral associates who work closely with our research faculty. These research positions are generally 2-3 year appointments, with a light teaching load and minimal service responsibilities. The department hires new postdocs every year, with support from research grants and an endowment from Patricia Caldwell.
Links on the right-hand side of this page provide more information about these positions and related resources. Information about our current postdoctoral associates is included below.

Ping-Hsuan Tsai , bioI am a postdoctoral associate working on developing data-driven reduced-order models for turbulent heat transfer applications. Particularly, focusing on developing stabilization strategies and error indicators for turbulent flows to be used in engineering routine and design analysis. In addition to turbulent flows, plasma physics is another application that I have been working on recently.
