Speaker:Yang-Tse Cheng
Chemical and Materials Engineering
University of Kentucky
Biography: Y.-T. Cheng attended Peking University between 1978 and 1980 (Physics). He transferred to Caltech and received all his degrees there (B.S. (1982) in Physics/Math, M.S. (1983) and Ph.D. (1987) in Applied Physics). He was with General Motors R&D Center from 1987 to 2008, most recently as a Technical Fellow and a lab group manager responsible for engineered surfaces, tribology, and functional materials. In August 2008, he moved to the University of Kentucky as a professor of materials engineering. He has 27 US patents and over 100 publications in areas such as nanoindentation modeling and measurements of mechanical properties; growth, structure, and properties of nanostructured materials (e.g., amorphous materials, nano-composites, epitaxial single crystals, single crystal nanowires); microscopic shape memory and superelastic effects; magnetorheological fluids; superhydrophobic surfaces; ion-solid interactions and ion beam modification of materials; fuel cells and batteries; and environmentally friendly machining processes. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and a member of the Materials Research Society (MRS).
