Strachan Group Purdue

I would like to thank current and past group members (40 graduate students and 11 postdocs!), collaborators, and mentors who made this possible. lnkd.in/g-TyrNvq

@PurduePlautEVPR @Research_Purdue Thanks Karen.

We published a new paper led by student Shukai Yao studied the origin of the two glass transition temperatures of carbon fiber precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and the backbone relaxation of two phases using molecular dynamic simulations. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very nice workshop with inspiring talks! Nice to see old friends and make new ones and share our work on nanoHUB. #machinelearning #data #materialsscience lnkd.in/ggcwgV_h

Our new neural network reactive potential for CHNO systems was just published. We focused on expanding the training set with high-pressure processes. Check it out and use in your MD simulations. . #machinelearning #moleculardynamics #materialsscience lnkd.in/gaNkne6N

Our students Jorge Hernandez, Kathleen O’Sullivan, and Varun Vaidyanathan presented their work at the Spring Undergraduate Research Conference. They used an active learning approach to find the optimal composition of a high-entropy alloy for soldering applications.

This perspective article on FAIR data in MSE emerged from a very energetic and enjoyable MaRDA () working group. Check it out here: lnkd.in/gRUf5Ntx #materialsscience #machinelearning #science lnkd.in/gMQNfqMz

Excited to announce that a recent paper by research scientist Daniel Klinger has been published. In this work, Daniel developed a machine learning model capable of predicting the burn rate parameters for a solid propellant based on constituent materials. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pr…

The Materials Research Data Alliance (MaRDA) annual conference is around the corner! The conference will be virtual on Feb 21-23 and registration is free. Learn about the present and future of data in materials science and join a g…lnkd.in/gVfmGJ3T lnkd.in/gf38pdFD

We're pleased to announce that we have partnered with Schrödinger to bring you an exclusive discount on their courses! Level up your skill set with hands-on, online computational chemistry courses using industry-leading technology. 🔗Promo code & details nanohub.org/groups/materia…

This is the result of a collaboration between IUPUI, Purdue University, and Argonne National Laboratory. Many thanks to, Brian Wyatt, Dr. Anupma Thakur, Wyatt Highland, Krista Pulley, Zachary Hood, Kat Nykiel, Shiba P Adhikari, PhD, and Babak Anasori. #MXenes, #oMXenes

Kat Nykiel contributed to a recently published paper that reports a new molybdenum-niobium MXene (o-MXene). This material is evidence for the transition metal ordering in the MXene's M layers and its tunable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats to Robert Appleton on winning the AAMP UP Outstanding Mentorship Award for guiding the undergraduate students doing research with us this summer!

Congrats to Michael Taylor on winning 3rd place in the AAMP UP Student Poster Competition where he presented his undergraduate research with us this summer!

Congrats to Sohee Kim on winning the AAMP UP Ambassador Award for her outstanding work doing undergraduate research with us this summer!

Awesome team! I was too late for the picture! lnkd.in/gsrT5sqM
