Temporal and Spatial Nanobiomaterials for Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery
(2020)
The intersection of materials science, biology, and nanotechnology has allowed for the development of advanced nanobiomaterials for tissue engineering and drug delivery. With more knowledge of how physical and chemical ...
Computational Discovery of Solid Electrolytes for Batteries: Interfacial Phenomena and Ion Mobility
(2020)
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) using a solid electrolyte (SE) and Li-metal anode are promising technologies that can increase energy density and minimize safety concerns for applications such as electric vehicles. Although ...
Disorder Engineering of Ferroic Properties
(2021)
Worldwide energy consumption is expected to increase 50% by the year 2050, with as much as 25% of that being lost to waste heat from electronic devices. Multiferroic materials have the potential to mitigate this heating ...
Role of Oxygen on Phase Stability, Precipitation, Deformation, and Oxidation in Pure Titanium and Beta Titanium Alloys
(2021)
Titanium and its alloys exhibit many desirable properties, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, which result in their continued importance as structural materials particularly for ...
The Effects of Temperature and Microstructure on Slip Localization in Microtextured Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo under Dwell Fatigue
(2021)
Near-alpha titanium alloys, such as Ti-6242, experience a reduction in fatigue lifetime when the peak stress is held for each loading cycle. This type of sustained peak loading is known as dwell fatigue, and it mimics the ...
Kirigami-Based Approaches to the Development of Highly Tunable Mechanical, Electrical, and Optical Systems and Devices
(2021)
I use kirigami techniques to create high performance, 3-dimensional structures, mechanisms, and multi-functional devices with applications in wearable electronics, optomechanical systems, solar energy harvesting, and ...
Study of Thermal and Magnetic Properties in Strongly Correlated Materials
(2020)
The search for quantum materials is always an exciting field in condensed matter physics. The strongly correlated materials are one of the most intensively studied systems for decades. Due to the complex interplay between ...
Analyzing the Stability and Kinetics of Ceramic Electrolyte/Organic Electrolyte Interfaces for LI Metal Batteries
(2020)
The need for high-energy-density Li-ion batteries has provided the impetus to replace graphite anodes with Li metal anodes. Unfortunately, the liquid electrolytes (LEs) used in state-of-the-art (SOA) Li-ion batteries are ...
Study of Acid Suppressed Thickener Technology Using Density Functional Theory and Machine Learning Techniques
(2018)
Hydrophobically modified ethylene oxide urethane (HEUR) rheology modifiers, which are water-based polyurethane formulations manufactured by Dow Coating Materials, a division of the Dow Chemical Company, are often added to ...
Operational Stability and Charge Transport in Fullerene-Based Organic Solar Cells
(2018)
Organic photovoltaic cells are approaching commercially-viable levels of performance for a variety of applications--particularly those which make use of the unique transparency, flexibility, and ultra-thin form factor that ...
