Visiting Fellowship for Professor Bhattacharya - new materials and their implementation for micro mechanics.

Bhattacharya研究材料的微观结构与其宏观特性之间的联系，并试图利用这种理解来指导新材料的开发。每一种材料都有不同尺度的结构特征，我们所体验到的特性是所有这些尺度之间相互作用的总和。他对活性材料特别感兴趣，这些材料在机械、热、电、光学和其他性质之间具有不寻常的耦合，因此一种性质可以用另一种性质来控制。这些材料包括压电材料，它是任何超声波设备的核心，以及形状记忆合金，可以记住它们的形状，并用于许多医疗设备。巴塔查里亚将访问剑桥，在涉及活性材料和纳米系统的各种项目上，与兴趣重叠、专业互补的研究人员合作。他的专业知识将弥合从新材料到宏观反应的差距。他将在材料分析的新理论方法、活性材料和纳米系统的新兴思想方面进行讲座和辅导研讨会，在纳米系统中，材料充当机器。

Bhattacharya studies the link between the microscopic structure of materials and its macroscopic properties and seeks to use that understanding to guide the development of new materials. Every materials has structural features on a variety of scales and the properties that we experience are a sum-total of the interaction between all these scales. he is specifically interested in active materials, solids that possess unusual coupling between mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and other properties so that one property can be controlled using another. These include piezoelectric materials that are central to any ultra-sonic device and shape-memory alloys that remember their shape and are used for a number of medical devices. Bhattacharya will visit Cambridge to collaborate with researchers with overlapping interest and complementary expertise on a variety of projects involving active materials and nano-systems. His expertise will bridge the gap from novel materials to macroscopic response. He will lecture and give tutorial seminars on new theoretical methods for the analysis of materials, on active materials and emerging ideas for nano-systems where the materials acts as the machine.
