Single Polymer Micro- and Nano- Composites
… by the development of so-called "single polymer composites" (SPCs), i.e. composite materials in which both matrix and reinforcement have the same chemical composition. The main advantage of SPCs is that, unlike traditional heterogeneous composites (such as glass- or carbon reinforced polymer …

Computational Discovery of Microstructured Composites with Optimized Trade-Off between Strength and Toughness
… engineering problems. To create structural composites with extraordinary strength and toughness, previous works mainly drew inspiration from nature and attempted to replicate nacrelike structures in synthetic composites using a brick-and-mortar architecture. There is no microscale control …

Multiphysics Transport in Heterogeneous Media: from Pore-Scale Modeling to Deep Learning
Transport phenomena in heterogeneous media play a crucial role in numerous engineering applications such as hydrocarbon recovery from shales and material processing. Understanding and predicting these phenomena is critical for the success of these applications. In this dissertation, nanoscale …

Effects of radiation damage and composition on phase separation in borosilicate nuclear waste glasses
In order to increase the waste loading efficiency of nuclear waste glasses, alternative composite structures are sought that trap molybdenum in a water-durable $\textit{CaMoO4}$ phase. In this thesis, the formation and stability of $\textit{CaMoO4}$ in a borosilicate glass against the attack of …
