MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Additive Manufacturing and Mechanical Properties of Cellulose Nanofibril Materials”
Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are a nanomaterial derived from plants that have high specific stiffness and strength, can be made into optically transparent materials, and are biodegradable. These properties make CNFs […]
MEAM Seminar: “A Multi-Scale Homogenization Model for the Viscoplastic Response of Polar and Sea Ice”
The rheology of polar ice evolves in response to weather and climate changes, by modifying its microstructure. While the experimental evidence for the dependence of rheological properties on the microstructure […]
MEAM Seminar: “Effect of Nanoparticle Size on the Mechanical Properties of Nanoparticle (NP) Assemblies”
Nanoparticle assemblies (NPAs) have attracted tremendous interests of various research communities. The particle-size-effect on mechanical properties of NPAs is systematically studied. With decreasing the particle size d from 300 nm […]

MEAM Seminar: “Tribofilms at the Asperity Scale”
The presentation will start with an introduction to tribology. This term was first used in a 1965 UK government report which identified the economic loss due to preventable wear and […]
MEAM/MSE Special Seminar: “Scalable Functional Phase Change Materials for Displays and Photonic Non-von Neumann Computing”
In electronics, doping silicon results in one of the most versatile functional materials ever employed. The pursuit of such functional materials in the optical domain is an area of great […]
