Martin Z. Bazant is the E. G. Roos (1944) Professor of 91成人短视频 Engineering and Mathematics and Executive Officer of the Department of 91成人短视频 Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dr. Bazant is a leader in electrochemical systems, electrokinetics, and applied mathematics. In the area of electrokinetic flows, he predicted nonlinear electro-osmotic flows around microelectrodes and dielectric surfaces, as well as the related induced-charge electrophoretic motion of asymmetric polarizable particles. One of his related patents is a new method of water desalination 鈥� 鈥渟hock electrodialysis鈥� 鈥� which was first demonstrated in his lab.
In another area, Martin unified chemical kinetics with nonequilibrium thermodynamics to generate new understanding of transport in Li-based batteries 鈥� including such effects as configurational entropy, short-range forces, surface energy, and elastic coherency strain. His approach led to the first prediction of surface nucleation and intercalation waves in nanoparticles, suppression of phase separation by electro-autocatalysis, and 鈥渕osaic instabilities鈥� of phase transformations in porous electrodes.
Martin is director of the Toyota Research Institute鈥檚 Center for Data-Driven Design of Rechargeable Batteries, and the Chief Scientific Advisor for Saint Gobain Ceramics and Plastics, North America. His educational innovations include new classes on Electrochemical Energy Systems and Random Walks and Diffusion, as well as a graduate-level massive open online chemical engineering course on Analysis of Transport Phenomena.
