Beyond the Spherical Cow: A New Approach to Modeling Physical Quantities for Objects of Arbitrary ShapeMarc De GraefCarnegie Mellon University, Department of Materials Science and Engineering Wednesday, April 27, 2005 15:00-16:00, Speaker Bio: Professor De Graef received his PhD in Physics from the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, in 1989, with a thesis on copper-based shape memory alloys. He subsequently joined Carnegie Mellon University in 1993. Professor De Graef's research interests lie in the area of microstructural characterization of structural intermetallics and magnetic materials. His current focus is on the development of experimental and modeling techniques for the quantitative study of magnetic domain configurations in a variety of materials, including ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, magnetic thin films, and patterned structures. This study includes a theoretical analysis of the use of shape functions in the computation of shape-dependent material properties.
