In this work, using milli-eV inelastic X-ray scattering, we showed that in a strongly disordered superlattice system, the phonon population shows a deviation from equilibrium. We developed a theoretical model which map the phonon transport…

Tongtong Liu joins our group as a PhD candidate from MIT Physics. Most welcomed Tongtong!

Our work on using atomic coordinates to predict phonon density-of-states is highlighted at MIT News. Congratulations!

In this work, we offered a machine-learning based predictive model that output the phonon density-of-states by inputting atomic structures. One feature is the prediction of alloy properties. Conventionally alloy prepdictions can be achieved using virtual…

Nina has just won the prestigious Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellowship in Argonne National Laboratory.  The Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellowship is a competitive postdoctoral ​fellowship, awarded “internationally to outstanding doctoral scientists and engineers”. It bears the name of Maria Goeppert Mayer, late Nobel Laureate…
