Imperfection Engineering Group (IEG)
Atomistic foundations and building blocks for designing polycrystalline materials.
Atomistic foundations and building blocks for designing polycrystalline materials.
Goals of Imperfection Engineering Group (IEG) are to provide a better understanding of defect structure-property relationships through accelerated modeling and simulations, and to provide materials defect genomes with a focus on defect-defect interactions. The ultimate aim is to apply the accelerated computational frameworks and genomic databases for discovery and design of engineering materials via defect engineering.
Defects, grain boundaries, and triple-junction networks — and how they govern polycrystalline behavior.
Periodic table maps of defect chemistry, building the genome that links structure-property relationships in crystalline materials
