Extreme mechanics and additive manufacturing of materials across scales

Innovations in material development and manufacturing processes for extreme conditions are necessary and urgent for many emerging applications. Towards this vision, this presentation will focus on the exploration of mechanical behavior and manufacturing processes of materials, with an emphasis on metals and semiconductors, across many length- and time-scales, including the following topics: (i) Controlling dislocation motion and plasticity in semiconductors using non-mechanical stimuli (high electric field or illumination); (ii) Design of high-strength and thermal stability of nanostructured high-entropy alloys using a high-throughput strategy and electrodeposition; (iii) laser-based additive manufacturing and cold spray additive manufacturing of titanium alloys, high-entropy alloys and multi-materials; (iv) machine learning for microstructure design and process optimization.
