Mechanical properties and wear characteristics of dual-phase high-entropy ceramics

 

I am a Doctor of Materials Science and Technology and Advanced Ceramics, Project leader and PhD co-promotor, I have a wide-range of experiences in international research on ceramics, composites and ceramic matrix nanocomposites for applications under extreme conditions. I have been active in the following research areas - carbon nanofibres reinforced zirconia matrix composites, Nano/micro mechanical testing, Silicon nitride + 1 wt.% graphene platelet composites and Ultra High Temperature Ceramics. As a Project leader, I have completed a three-year international project – ReIntegration focusing on the development of ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC), such as: ZrB2, TaC and HfC. I am currently working as a Project leader of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA), based on the development of dual-phase high-entropy ultra-high temperature ceramics using Spark Plasma Sintering and subsequent detailed microstructural analysis. I have won several scientific awards, as well as grants and scholarships at many top international institutions. I have extensive experience in project management (PRINCE2 Cert), as evidenced by two patents.


Prof. Daniel Neuhauser

 

University of California, USA

 

 

Daniel Neuhauser is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA, which he joined in 1992. He did his undergraduate studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and obtained his Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from Caltech in 1987. From 1989-1992 he was the Weizmann postdoctoral fellow in the Princeton’s chemistry department, and then the James Franck research fellow at the University of Chicago. Neuhauser’s research has focused on the development of quantum algorithms based on low scaling for large quantum systems, as well as on mesoscopic treatment of coupled systems of radiation and matter. He developed the general absorbing potential approach to scattering. Neuhauser also invented the filter-diagonalization method which is used for the precise extraction of energetic data from a short-time signal, and is useful in quantum dynamics, nuclear magnetic resonance and signal processing in general. Neuhauser’s current research concentrates on the development of stochastic quantum chemistry, an approach which eliminates the need for extensive quantum calculations and instead uses a a small number of “random” orbitals. This paradigm "stretches the limits" in regard to calculating static and dynamics properties of many materials enabling chemically accurate DFT and post-DFT calculations for large mesoscopic systems with tens of thousands of electrons. Neuhauser is the author of over 190 papers, with over 10,000 citations and an h-index of 55 (as of 2023).
