Information
Solid–state batteries are a promising next generation of energy storage, but their performance is strongly influenced by defects and disorder in solid electrolytes, features that are often difficult to observe and control experimentally. In this public lecture, Dr. Prashun Gorai, a leading researcher in computational materials science, will introduce how calculations and data–driven approaches can be used to understand and design defects in functional materials. This lecture will serve as the opening event of the Junior Research Program, serving as subject introduction and setting the stage for interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration.
