About this position

The post announces the appointment of Dr. Tyler Perez as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at The University of Alabama at Birmingham.

His research sits at the intersection of high-energy-density physics, planetary science, materials under extremes, fusion-relevant science, and extreme matter physics. The post highlights his use of advanced laser-driven compression experiments and computational modeling to study how materials transport heat, deform, and flow under extreme pressures, temperatures, and strain rates.

The announcement also connects his work to UAB’s Center for Additively Manufactured Complex Systems Under Extremes (CAMSCE), a DOE-supported Center of Excellence focused on materials and systems operating under extreme conditions. It further references national research infrastructure and facilities such as OMEGA, NIF, Janus, the Z Machine, and the Dynamic Compression Sector.

Research themes relevant to prospective students and collaborators include experimental physics, laboratory astrophysics, fusion energy science, Earth and planetary materials, and interdisciplinary work spanning computation and large-scale experimental campaigns.

This is not a student opening or funded position call; it is a faculty appointment announcement. No deadline, application portal, or funding details are provided.
