What you should know about the PI's mentoring style before deciding to join the group
Juner has proven himself an Ideator with clear and ambitious visions in the areas of energy storage, applied mechanics, and data-driven methods. He is also a Connector who is enthusiastic to link his mentees to world-leading collaborators and industrial partners.
Juner loves what Sherlock Holmes said to John Watson because it precisely describes Juner's mentoring philosophy.
"It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."
Juner would like to act as the John Waston to stimulate the research power of everyone in our group, who is the Sherlock Holmes.

Northeastern Master Students
We have no RA or TA for Northeastern graduate students who are currently pursing a Master's degree.
Northeastern MS students who are interested in working with us can
Perform a "Research Project" in their curriculum, or
Complete MS thesis in our group.
Intern & Undergraduate Trainee
Juner has very strong connections with automotive, battery, consumer electronics, and technical consulting companies over the globe. He has successful experiences in recommending candidates to tech giants such as Apple and Tesla for summer interns or full-time jobs.
Northeastern undergraduates planning for Co-Ops or internships are particularly welcome to reach out for training or advice!
Juner is organizing the Battery Sustainability Workshop on the Burlington campus of Northeastern. It will be a great opportunity for students to talk to the industrial partners.
Visiting
Visiting scholar/student positions are always open. Please send your CV and a short research plan to Juner (j.zhu@northeastern.edu).
