| Abstract Scope |
High-entropy alloys have transformed alloy design by opening vast compositional spaces with unprecedented opportunities for discovering advanced structural materials. Realizing this potential requires moving beyond traditional trial-and-error approaches toward predictive, physics-informed design. Inspired by the computational materials design philosophy championed by Chris Wolverton, this talk will discuss how integrating computational modeling, advanced characterization, and high-throughput experiments enables a new paradigm for accelerated alloy discovery. Rather than treating composition, processing, and microstructure independently, this framework links them across multiple length and time scales to uncover fundamental mechanisms governing phase stability, microstructure evolution, and mechanical behavior. These advances illustrate how combining physics-based understanding with modern computational and experimental tools can substantially shorten the pathway from scientific discovery to the design of next-generation high-performance alloys. |
