This event came from a public calendar feed. Calendar feeds publish when a show happens, not when its tickets go on sale — so this is genuinely unknown rather than zero, and rather than “already on sale”.
What the source said
Title Simulating and Quantifying Shock Wave Induced Damage in Metals via Atomistic Simulations Abstract Coming soon Background Professor Spearot received his Ph.D. in 2005 from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research broadly includes the use of atomistic and mesoscale simulation techniques to study the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of materials, with particular focus on the behavior of interfaces. He was awarded the NSF CAREER Award in 2010 and was named 2020 Teacher of the Year in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering. His research interests include omputational mechanics and materials science (including atomistic simulations, discrete dislocation dynamics simulations and phase-field modeling), behavior of defects in materials, nanostructured materials, linking between atomistic and continuum length scales and method development for atomistic and mesoscale computational modeling. The Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering Distinguished Seminar Series features scholars from a wide range of peer institutions across the country. The events are open to all faculty, staff and students looking to spark their curiosity and learn about high-impact research from some of the world's most prominent experts in mechanical engineering.
