MSE Seminar: “Characterization of Complex Eutectic Microstructures”
Eutectic phase transitions play an important role in many engineering materials, from cast iron to electronic solder. Regular binary eutectics are relatively straightforward and generally well understood, but the additional […]
MSE Seminar: “Predicting Properties of Structurally and Chemically Complex Materials using Physics-informed Statistical Learning”
To apply statistics and data science tools to aid computational designs of materials is under fast development. There are two unique aspects of the applications of these tools in materials […]
MSE Seminar: “III-V photovoltaic substrate reuse using fracture”
Controlled spalling of single-crystal semiconductors is an emerging technique which results in the rapid exfoliation of a thin, single-crystal layer by propagating fracture parallel to the wafer surface. Spalling fracture […]
MSE Seminar: “Approaching the Intrinsic Limit in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide van der Waals Heterostructures”
Studying the intrinsic behavior 2D materials requires attention to both external and internal sources of disorder. This talk will first review the techniques used to create clean heterostructures with hBN […]

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 […]
