Title: ComputationalMaterials Design and Study at Southern University

Speaker: Profs. Shizhong Yang and Ebrahim Khosravi, Southern University, US

Time: 2:30pm - 4:30 pm, May 25, 2015

Place: Auditorium room 410, Building 6, HPSTAR (Shanghai)

Host: Dr. Bin Chen

Abstract:

In this short talk, I will introduceseveral of our recent projects in my HPC group at Southern University. Ourgroup’s research mainly focused on computational materials design (high entropyalloys (HEA), oxide dispersion strengthened alloy (ODS), thermal barriercoatings (TBC) etc.), nanomaterial synthesis, high pressure XRD synchrotronexperimental materials structure and property, and biomedical ligand/proteinand protein/protein docking and molecular dynamics simulation, with the goal onatomic/molecular level interaction mechanism study and drug/vaccine screening.Specifically, I’ll introduce our research advances on TBC, ODS, TBC, iron-basedhigh temperature superconductors electronic structure calculation, non-preciousmetal catalyst for fuel cells, and biomedical simulation of BPA/2E2R, apocynin/1K4U,and gB/gH-gL virus/membrane systems etc. Then our future works and vision ofpossible SU/HPSTAR collaboration research works/projects will be presented.

Prof. Ebrahim Khosravi will talk about thestudying opportunities at Southern University.
