　　受北京理工大學(xué)材料學(xué)院邀請(qǐng)，英國(guó)薩里大學(xué)資深講師蔡瓊博士于7月5日來(lái)訪，進(jìn)行參觀與學(xué)術(shù)交流，并在3號(hào)教學(xué)樓341作題為“Towards multiscale modelling for battery materials design”的學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告。材料學(xué)院吳川教授主持本次學(xué)術(shù)報(bào)告會(huì)。

　　蔡瓊博士介紹了其研究團(tuán)隊(duì)在電池材料的多尺度模型的設(shè)計(jì)與應(yīng)用上的研究。主要包括以下兩個(gè)方面：一是通過(guò)分子建模的方法從原子尺度上揭示了鈉離子在多孔碳材料中的存儲(chǔ)行為，二是將三維微米尺度模型用于三維電極材料的設(shè)計(jì)，并進(jìn)一步分析了材料的多重物理量和化學(xué)/電化學(xué)性能。

　　蔡瓊博士研究團(tuán)隊(duì)的工作主要集中于利用量化計(jì)算來(lái)輔助設(shè)計(jì)電極材料，以及對(duì)電池內(nèi)部的傳質(zhì)等問(wèn)題進(jìn)行模型預(yù)測(cè)，與同學(xué)們的基礎(chǔ)性研究工作相輔相成，拓寬了同學(xué)們的研究思路。與會(huì)師生還就報(bào)告中的建模、邊界條件、適用性等感興趣的問(wèn)題進(jìn)行了深入又熱烈地討論，報(bào)告在師生們熱烈的掌聲中圓滿(mǎn)結(jié)束。

蔡瓊博士簡(jiǎn)介：

　　Dr Qiong Cai was trained in materials science and engineering at Tsinghua University (China) and received her MEng degree in 2003. She went on to complete a PhD in 2007, at the University of Edinburgh (UK), with an overseas research scholarship from Universities UK. Between 2007 and 2012 she was a research associate at Imperial College London where she led the Modelling and Simulation workpackage within a four-year EU FP7 funded project. She became a lecturer in Department of Chemical and Process Engineering at University of Surrey in 2012 and was promoted to senior lecturer and Director of Postgraduate Research in 2016. She has been researching actively at the interface of materials science and electrochemical engineering. Her current research focuses on multi-scale modeling and materials design for energy conversion and storage. She is the PI of three EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) funded projects on Na-ion batteries and polymer membrane fuel cells. She is also the Co-I of a newly funded ￡1.2 million project from EPSRC on Na-ion batteries, and the Co-I of a Surrey-NPL (National Physical Laboratory) PhD studentship on lithium air batteries. She has supervised 5 postdocs and currently is supervising 5 PhD students. She is on the Scientific Board of the H2FC SUPERGEN Hub, the Scientific Board of the Energy Storage SUPERGEN Hub, and a member of the EPRSC peer review college. She has also been an active referee for a number of international journals including Journal of Power Sources, Electrochimica Acta, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, etc.
