Course description and aims

[Summary of the lecture]This course focuses on systematic material design from fundamental to application, and covers the reaction-diffusion equations as the basis of the systematic material design.
[Aim of the lecture]The concept of systematic material design is essential to develop materials and devices useful in practice. Each element materials should be integrated systematically by considering the target performance of the final device/system, and the specific optimization of each element materials does not necessarily lead to the improvement of the performance of the final device/system. This course introduces reaction-diffusion equations as the basis of systematic material design, and then shows applications of systematic material design.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to
1) Understand how systematic material design based on chemical engineering approach is applied for the development of materials and devices in the fields of energy and environment.
2) Understand and derivate the reaction-diffusion equation and numerically solve the equation.
3) Understand how to apply the systematic material design to develop materials and devices useful in practice.

Keywords

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
