Abstract:
Dr. Balasubramanian will share some of our activities in the area of predictive engineering of materials and processes relevant for structural and energy applications. Broadly, the research efforts lie at the intersection of computational engineering, structural/energy materials development and advanced manufacturing. Sample projects that concentrate on scientific problems influenced by atomistic mechanisms and material interfaces will be presented. The fundamental knowledge gained enables us to construct composition-processing-structure-property relationships across length and time scales, provide recommendations to optimize processes and material microstructures for targeted properties, and scavenge the materials processing landscape to discover and engineer designer materials.

Biography:
Ganesh Balasubramanian is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics at Lehigh University. He received his BME degree in Mechanical Engineering from Jadavpur University (India) in 2007, his PhD in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech in 2011, and was a postdoctoral research associate in Theoretical Physical Chemistry at TU Darmstadt (Germany) till fall of 2012. His research and teaching interests are in advanced energy and structural materials, nanoscale transport and mechanics, and predictive engineering. Some of his recognitions include the NSF CAREER award, ASEE Outstanding New ME Educator award, AFRL Summer Faculty Fellowship, Graduate Man of the Year and Liviu Librescu Scholarship at Virginia Tech, and Young Engineering Fellowship from the Indian Institute of Science.
