Uncovering key structure-property relationships in nanostructured materials using multi-scale simulation framework
Nanostructured materials offer superior properties as compared to their coarser scale counterparts. The potential advancements in properties are linked to unique nanoscale structural features such as high surface area to volume ratio and large fraction of interfaces. As such, several studies have focused on probing the role of nanoscale structure in dictating unique behavior using computational modeling/simulation. Unlike experimental studies, it is easier to isolate and study the behavior of the structural features at the nanoscale in computational studies and uncover key structure-property relationship. These computational studies can further guide the experiments towards rationally modifying the structure to achieve desired properties. In this talk, the fundamental behavior of different classes of nanostructured materials is discussed using computational modeling.
Dr. Ankit Gupta joined the Mechanical Engineering Department at Colorado School of Mines in February 2018 as a postdoctoral researcher and has since been working in Computational Materials Science and Design Research group, under the guidance of Prof. Garritt J. Tucker. Dr. Gupta earned his Ph.D and M.S from Carnegie Mellon University, PA, in 2017 and 2015, and his B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India in 2011 in Materials Science and Engineering. Before starting graduate school, he worked at Tata Steel Ltd., India as Project Manager, Operations in Cold Rolling Mill for 2 years.
