Multiscale Mathematical Modeling and Design Realization of Novel 2D Functional Materials

Project Overview

The research undertaken by this MURI collaboration is to develop efficient and reliable multiscale methods to couple atomistic scales to the mesoscopic and the macroscopic continuum for layered heterostructures. Mathematical formulation and analysis is led by Mitchell Luskin (U. Minnesota) and Petr Plechac (U. Delaware), physics and engineering-based modeling will be led by Tim Kaxiras (Harvard) and Ellad Tadmor (U. Minnesota), while experimental discovery and model verification is led by Philip Kim (Harvard).

The project is funded by ARO-DOD for the period July 2014 – June 2019.
