In the article “Tina Rost receives CAREER award to explore a new class of modern materials,” Virginia Tech highlights a research collaboration that includes GW Engineering Professor Tianshu Li, who is partnering with a team led by Virginia Tech’s Tina Rost to develop a new class of materials called high-entropy ceramics. Supported by a NSF CAREER award, the project aims to create materials from the atomic level that are stronger, more heat resistant, and customizable for high-performance applications.
Here is an excerpt from the article: “Creating unnatural combinations of atoms can unlock new performance, especially in fields such as quantum computing, aerospace, and defense. In adition, Rost’s team will use machine learning to help analyze materials to ultimately predict specific materials that match real-world needs without years of trial and error.”
