The Asian American Pioneer Medal Symposium and Ceremony returns in July 2025. We join together to celebrate the transformative contributions made by Asian American pioneers and provide a platform for intellectual exchange and inspiration.
Three PhD defenses and one student award: Congratulations to Yubi Chen, Runqing Yang, and Yujie Quan for successfully defending their PhD theses this month on three wide-ranging topics (charge density waves, Li-ion battery monitoring, and coupled electron-phonon transport). Yujie…
In JACS, we report a high-throughput computational search for materials with strong intrinsic photostriction, non-thermal strain induced by light illumination. While direct calculation of photostriction is difficult, we apply a simple thermodynamic Maxwell equation to convert…
On 1 December 2024, I'll give a talk at a symposium in honor of Professor Gang Chen on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The title of my talk is Conversations with Gang Chen on the Basic Algorithm of Thermodynamics (BAT) I sent him an abbreviated title: BAT Gang Chen 😀
Thanks @ucsantabarbara for covering our recent work!
Thanks @ucsantabarbara for covering our recent work!
In @PNASNews, we report direct time-resolved electron imaging of photoexcited hot carriers transfer across a semiconductor heterojunction using our scanning ultrafast electron microscope (SUEM). With SUEM, we took movies (with picosecond time resolution) of photocarriers…
We asked ChatGPT to read 8000 paper abstracts and establish a database for magnetocaloric materials, which we then used to train a machine learning model to predict new magnetocaloric materials. With this approach we discovered 11 new materials, including one with the best…
Go inside @ucsantabarbara’s Nanofab Facility, our state-of-the-art cleanroom with more than $60 million in equipment. 🔬 Hear about how the Nanofab enables cutting-edge technology and will play a pivotal role in boosting the country’s semiconductor industry.

Professor James Speck is the 5th COE faculty member to receive a prestigious Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship. He joins Susanne Stemmer, Tresa Pollock, Chris Van de Walle, and Chris Palmstrom as VBFF Fellows. In fact, UCSB ranks #2 among all public universities in VBFF recipients
Humans produce significant amounts of heat, which is difficult to utilize efficiently. However, @UCSBmece's Bolin Liao (@TeaLab_UCSB) has examined cadmium arsenide thin films, which could be useful in enhancing energy efficiency. Learn More: news.ucsb.edu/2024/021535/in…

In @NanoLetters, we report that nonequilibrium coupling between electrons and phonons ("electron drag") can significantly affect thermal transport in 2D semiconductors, in sharp contrast to 3D. Important impact on thermal management of 2D electronics: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
In our new paper published in Advanced Materials @AdvSciNews, we found significantly enhanced Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric power factor in thin films of topological Dirac semimetals, which we attributed to the topological surface states. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
Jiaoyue Yuan has successfully defended her PhD thesis on high-throughput computational search for new energy materials. She will join @Google in April. Congratulations Dr. Yuan and good luck!
Usama Choudhry has successfully defended his PhD thesis on probing photocarrier dynamics using scanning ultrafast electron microscopy. Congratulations Dr. Choudhry!
UCSB MechE virtual open house for potential graduate applicants will be held on Zoom on Nov. 14 4-5pm PT. Faculty and students will discuss ongoing research and graduate experience at UCSB as well as graduate admission Q&A. @UCSBengineering Registration: tinyurl.com/UCSBMEGrad1114
