Magnetic domain wall devices : from physics to system level application
… device design that is adaptable to emerging material physics. We design, model and experimentally demonstrate spin orbit torque induced magnetic domain wall devices as the building blocks (i.e. linear synaptic weight generator and the nonlinear activation function generator) for in-memory …

Granular Shape Memory Ceramics
… memory ceramics (SMCs) are burgeoning functional materials based on zirconia with a reversible, stress-inducible martensitic phase transformation. Compared to metallic shape memory alloys, SMCs have broader operating temperatures, higher critical stresses, and larger mechanical hysteresis loops. …

Non-classical methods for the simulation and design of quantum materials.
Materials science has transformed human technology, ranging from robust structural materials like steel alloys to the sophisticated semiconductor devices that drive modern electronics. Many of these materials can be studied and understood computationally through classical methods such as Density …

Machine Learning for Phonon Thermal Transport
… features of phonon DOS and generalizes to materials with atom types absent from the training set. We further exemplify our method’s potential by predicting alloy systems without any additional computational cost and filtering high phononic specific heat materials out of more than 4,000 …

Emerging phenomena in oxide heterostructures
… has provided significant insight into underlying physics of materials at the atomic level, giving quantitative results consistent with experiment. In this dissertation using density functional theory methods, we explore the electronic, magnetic and structural properties developed near the …

Structure-property relationships in polymeric materials via advanced rheological and neutron scattering techniques
… microstructural rearrangements and macroscopic material response is a long-standing challenge in understanding the non-equilibrium behavior of soft materials. Soft viscoelastic materials, when reacting to dynamic flows such as large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) flows, tend to generate …

On the molecular pathways supporting the development of structurally coloured cuticle in Hibiscus trionum
… modelling, and existing knowledge in material physics, suggests that the development of such a structure is induced by the buckling of the petal cuticle. In this PhD, the molecular pathways and mechanisms underpinning the production of nanoscaled petal ridges were investigated in …
