Bio

Dr. Jason Trelewicz is a Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering and the Institute for Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University with a Joint Appointment in the Materials Science and Technology Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His research explores the science of interface engineered materials with a common theme of tailoring interfaces across length scales ranging from the atomic and nanoscale to collective responses of tailored microstructures that govern thermal, mechanical, and radiation stability under extremes. Research couples computational materials design frameworks with novel processing methods and advanced characterization techniques to introduce and analyze key microstructural features for enhancing stability and performance in materials for extreme environments including: (i) nanostructured alloys for nuclear structural applications, (ii) gradient engineered tungsten alloy plasma facing materials, (iii) ceramic composite moderators for microreactors, and (iv) creep resistant copper alloys, and (v) reduced activation steels.
