Functional Materials Design and Property Optimizations

Abstract:
We apply materials chemistry to design novel functional inorganic materials, which can be used in structural, medical and green energy applications. Structure-property relationship – the foundation of materials science – will be investigated by combining X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy, through atomic, nano-, micro- to macro-scale characterizations, to guide materials property optimizations.

Biography:
Dr Wei Fengxia received her Bachelor and PhD degree from MSE, NTU and did postdoc training in University of Cambridge. She is currently focusing on advanced characterization of metal alloys and their structural property relationship studies in STR, IMRE.

Transformative Coatings

Abstract:
Coatings are widely used for enhancement, protection, and modification. We are interested in developing transformative coatings which can add multiple benefits thus drastically alter the properties of materials. Currently, we are interested in transparent conducting coatings, thermochromic coatings, protective ceramic coatings, and bioactive ceramic coatings.

Biography:
Dr Huang Xiaohu joined IMRE in 2014. Since then, he has successfully delivered three DSO projects and one AP project on advanced coatings. His good work has earned continued funding support from DSO and AP consortium. He is also a recipient of the most recent tranche of A*STAR Career Development Award.
