Jinjin Ha

Jinjin Ha serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Hampshire, with her office located in Kingsbury Hall, Room W101a, Durham, NH. She teaches core mechanical engineering courses including Statics (ME 525), Materials Processing in Manufacturing (ME 742/842), Theory of Plasticity (ME 927), and Doctoral Research (ME 999), demonstrating active engagement in both undergraduate and graduate education.

Her research program integrates computational mechanics with advanced manufacturing, focusing on:

• Machine learning applications for plasticity modeling and fracture prediction
• Deformation mechanics in incremental sheet forming processes
• Martensitic phase transformations in stainless steels
• Anisotropic material behavior and yield function development
• Ductile fracture characterization of titanium and aluminum alloys

Analysis of her 2023-2024 publications reveals a decisive shift toward AI-driven mechanics, where neural networks solve complex constitutive modeling challenges in metal forming. This interdisciplinary approach bridges fundamental material science with industrial manufacturing optimization, particularly in toolpath design and phase transformation control.
