報告人簡介：

Dr. Yue Qi is the Joan Wernig Sorensen Professor of Engineering at Brown University and serves as the Deputy Director of the Initiative for Sustainable Energy (ISE). She earned her B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering and Computer Science from Tsinghua University, followed by her Ph.D. from Caltech. For 12 years, she worked at General Motors R&D, developing multi-scale models to solve engineering challenges related to lightweight materials, fuel cells, and batteries. In 2013, she transitioned to academia, initially joining Michigan State University before moving to Brown University. Dr. Qi’s research focuses on multi-scale and multi-physics simulations, which are key to designing materials and interfaces critical to energy-efficient technologies. She has been recognized with several research awards, including the Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology and the Brimacombe Medal from the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS). In addition to her research, Dr. Qi is a strong advocate for diversity in STEM. She served as the inaugural Associate Dean for Inclusion and Diversity at Michigan State University and received Brown's Dean’s Award for Impact in DEI.  

報告摘要：

Colours we encounter in daily life harbour basic, complex physics. Understanding and juggling with colours against a media at different length scales (i.e., light-matter interaction) are fascinating in nature and can be consequential, within or beyond the expectations. This talk will briefly touch on certain facets of it my research has been devoted to, with subjects spanning from biomarkers, through coloured glass and smart window, nanoparticles tracking, to water (strictly speaking, bluish instead of transparent) and liquid mixtures.
