DESCRIPTION:Prof. Anirudh Raju Natarajan\nMaterials science continues to r
 ely on empirical knowledge for the design of advanced engineering alloys. 
 At the macro-scale\, the lack of rigorous phenomenology limits our ability
  to predict material properties. At the atomistic scale\, mechanisms of ki
 netic and mechanical phenomena such as nucleation and deformation elude us
 . In this talk I will highlight recent advances in computational materials
  science that enable the rigorous and rational design of high-performance 
 engineering alloys across length scales. Materials used in automotive\, el
 ectrochemical and high-temperature applications will be used to illustrate
  the crucial insights that can be gained from first-principles models. The
  talk will conclude with a discussion of the challenges that must be overc
 ome to accurately predict the properties of complex materials.\nBio: Aniru
 dh received a B.Tech. in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from the 
 Indian Institute of Technology\, Madras\, a M.S in Materials Science and E
 ngineering from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor and a Ph.D. in Mate
 rials from the University of California\, Santa Barbara. He set up the lab
 oratory of materials design and simulation (MADES) at EPFL in 2022. His re
 search interests are in the computational design and discovery of advanced
  engineering materials.
