We propose the creation of a world-class multidisciplinary center dedicated to the development and application of advanced computational modeling techniques for the purpose of meeting the challenges in frontier problems in computational engineering and sciences, and promote substantial advancements in technological innovation, education and dissemination of knowledge in the broader area o…
This collaborative project is focused in the area of fabrication and characterization of nanotextured black-Si, graphene and graphene composites. The aim is to establish a collaborative framework in order to investigate, through experimental and theoretical analysis, nanotextured materials thermal, electrical and mechanical properties, heat transport and sensing capabilities. (AU)
In this project we will investigate using a multi-scale approach carbon nanotube based artificial muscles. We will use molecular dynamics simulations and finite elements techniques to investigate the actuation mechanisms. (AU)
We will investigate the structural, mechanical and conductance properties of graphene and related structures. We will consider hydrogenated (graphanes and graphones) and fluorinated (flurographenes and fluorographanes)membranes. The graphene oxide will also be considered. We will use a multiscale approach using semi-empirical, ab initio, molecular dynamics with reactive force fields and f…

In this project we intend to investigate hydrogen storage in some selected MOFs. The objective are:- To investigate the performance of different structures- To use artificial intelligence methods (such as, genetic ant ANT algorithms) to screen good candidate structures- To combine different techniques to address aspects at different scales (ab initio for small structures, monte carlo and …
We intend to investigate the wettability(friction and wearing) and tribological properties of some smart surfaces (which exhibit structural functionality). We will use a multi-scale approach, using structural model simulations from atomic to macroscale (ab initio, molecular dynamics, and finite elements
We intend to carry out a multi-scale investigation of carbon nanotube-based artificial muscles. Objectives: to create structural models representative of the CNT yarns; to investigate the physical origin of the coiled process; to investigate the role of the embedded paraffin in the actuation process; to investigate whether other embedded organic molecules could lead to the same actuation …
Schwarzites are 3D crystalline carbon allotropic structures with different porosity levels. They are formed by carbon atoms in sp2 hybridised states generating stable structures with intrinsic negative curvatures. In this project we intend to investigate their structural, mechanical and transport properties using a multi-scale approach. (AU)

Computational modeling has been a useful tool to generate corresponding 3D printed macroscale structures from atomic-scale structural models. This has allowed researchers to design new structures with different geometries and improved mechanical properties with potential applications in a wide variety of areas such as, actuators, ballistic protection, protective coatings, etc. In this res…
The metal-organic framework (MOF) is a nanoporous crystalline hybrid material made by metallic clusters and organic ligands. MOF series of materials represents an important source of promising candidates for various applications such as adsorption, separation and storage of gases, catalysis, proton conductors, among others. They present high porosity and internal surface area that allows …
Growth of layered (2D) materials has attracted great attention over the last decade due to their importance either in fundamental science as well as in technological applications. The most well-studied 2D material is graphene, owing to its remarkable and unique electronic, thermal and mechanical properties. Furthermore, as carbon atoms can have three different hybridizations, it is possib…
