Abstract: Materials defect engineering has great potential for applications in modulating the optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, and corrosion resistance properties of materials. Advanced computational simulations of material defects can reveal the evolutionary laws of material defects at the atomic scale, thereby exploring the structure-property relationships and accelerating the development and design of new materials. 

Biography: Jing Yang received her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from MIT in 2020, and was awarded the Materials Research Society (MRS) Gold Medal for Outstanding Ph.D. Student during her Ph.D. After graduation, she did postdoctoral work at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, and at the Max Planck Institute for Iron and Steel Research in Germany, and was awarded a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship in Germany in 2023. Her work focuses on multiscale computational simulations of materials and advanced electron density flood theory, and she has published more than ten papers in npj Computational Material, Chemistry of Materials, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, etc. She is also a co-author of the Handbook published by He has published more than ten papers in npj Computational Material, Chemistry of Materials, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, etc. She also co-authored the chapter on defect simulation in Handbook of Materials Modeling published by Springer.
