Nanomaterials/NEMS Our research in this area focuses on: Multiphysics and Multiscale Analysis of NEMS (Recent Publications ) Our research on this topic focuses on coupled electromechanical analysis of NEMS. In addition to developing multiphysics simulation tools combining mechanical and electrical energy domains, we are also developed multiscale simulation tools, based on the quasicontinuum theory, to incorporate molecular potentials into continuum theories. Properties, Interfaces, Dissipation and Sensing (Recent Publications ) Our research on this topic focuses on computing mechanical, electrical, chemical and other physical properties of nanomaterials, understanding interfaces between nanomaterials, understanding dissipation mechanisms in nanomaterials and exploiting various applications of nanomaterials, especially in sensing Energy Storage and Conversion (Recent Publications ) Our research in this area focuses on solid-oxide based fuel and electrolysis cells. Our interests range from hydration of materials to proton transport to developing multiscale methods combining quantum, atomistic and continuum theories to understand materials behavior. In addition, we are also investigating CO2 reduction and identifying materials for optimal reduction of CO2.
