The Materials Theory and Data Science (MTDS) Group performs cutting-edge research in materials modeling and simulations in the areas of defects and microstructure evolution. Applications include structural, functional, and energy materials during synthesis and performance. Recent and current research within MTDS group includes mesoscale plasticity of metals and alloys, dislocation dynamics method development, grain growth, thin film synthesis, recrystallization, and microchemical and microstructure evolution in irradiated materials for fission and fusion applications. Our research seamlessly integrates multiscale, multi-physics theory, computational methods, computing, and data science techniques toward a predictive understanding of materials. MTDS Group collaborates with a wide range of theorists and experimentalists worldwide.
