ceramics

The Multiscale Computational Physics Lab in University at Buffalo (UB) has one Postdoctoral Research Associate opening, available immediately. The recruited Research Associate is expected to be a key player in developing an Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) model and a predictive framework/toolkit for customized ceramics matrix composite-type materials for hypersonic vehicles. The developed ICME model will also be used for additive manufacturing and involve an analysis on uncertainty quantification and a machine-learning algorithm for material design.

Heavy ion irradiation can be used to modify the atomic structure of a material and improve its dissolution characteristics as shown here. This has implication for the design of bioceramics

Abstract

Additive manufacturing of ceramics from preceramic polymers

Following extensive research by our outstanding doctoral candidate here, Dr. Wang, a publication in the journal Additive Manufacturing is now in press.

Below are references to some of our ongoing work that is published and is related to study the role of microcracking (in particular) and porosity to the thermo-mechanical response of functional ceramics. This study is  relevant to understand the structural reliability of the systems such as the SOFC's (solid oxide fuel cells) and DPF's (diesel particulate filters).
