CANCELLED: MEAM Seminar: “Modeling the Behavior of Shape Memory Alloy Structures”
I will present recent work on the modeling of the structural response of shape memory alloy tubes, bars, and beams. We have developed a new constitutive model that captures pseudoelastic […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Computational Materials Design from Synthesis to Functionality”
The concept of computational materials design envisions the identification of new synthetically-accessible structures with desirable properties and the optimization of known systems using first-principles calculations. While significant steps towards realizing […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Uncovering atomistic mechanisms of crystallization using Machine Learning”
Solid-liquid interfaces have notoriously haphazard atomic environments. While essentially amorphous, the liquid has short-range order and heterogeneous dynamics. The crystal, albeit ordered, contains a plethora of defects ranging from adatoms […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Engineering non-equilibrium structure and functionality in complex solids”
Unique macroscopic phenomena, such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance, emerge in many complex solids due to the interplay between their electronic, magnetic, and structural degrees of freedom. This interplay […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Atomically Thin Films and Superlattices”
Thin film materials and heterostructures play a key role in modern technology including electronics and photonics. Atomically precise engineering of thin film materials enables unprecedented control of their structure and […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Structure-property relations in hybrid 2D halide perovskites”
Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are under intense investigation due to their interesting physical properties and superior performance in thin-film based optoelectronic devices. The structural diversity embedded in the system […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Unsupervised Learning of Dislocation Motion”
High-performance designs that utilize metallic alloys are driving a need to quantify deformation in-situ at the finest length scales in order to reduce weight, increase operating temperatures, and improve fatigue […]
MSE Faculty Candidate Seminar: “Defect Structure Process Maps for Laser Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing”
Additive manufacturing (AM) greatly expands the design freedom and near-net shape production of metallic components across multiple length scales. However, defects arising from starting materials, processing conditions, and post-processing may […]
