Our Zentropy approach has recently been featured in Penn State’s news article where Dr. Liu discusses how we apply it to parameter-free prediction of ferroelectric to paraelectric transition temperature in PbTiO3 entirely from first-principle computations.
Technical details can be found in our resent publication on the topic 10.1016/j.scriptamat.2023.115480
Congratulations to Adam and Zhening on passing their Comprehensive Exams today.
Adam’s talk was titled: Robust Materials Data Processing towards Materials Discovery Exemplified with High-Entropy Alloys
Zhening’s talk was titles: Design and characterization of functionally graded materials: SS304L to IN625 FGM and Fe- to Cu- alloy FGMs
At the 2023 TMS Annual Meeting, TMS held an honorary symposium to recognize the contributions of Dr. Liu. The symposium was designed to applaud the impact of Liu on the fields of computational materials science and materials design on the occasion of his 60th birthday, the 20th anniversary of Liu coining the term “Materials Genome”, and the progress of computational thermodynamics (CALPHAD) in the last 50 years as the foundation of materials design.
Dr. Liu was also named a TMS Fellow in 2022.

Congratulations to Adam! His talk on the ULTERA Database for High Entropy Alloys was selected as Best Oral Presentation at MRS Spring 2022 SF09 Symposium (High Entropy Materials Ⅱ - From Fundamentals to Potential Applications).
On May 12th, Rushi Gong successfully passed her comprehensive examination and is now on the straight path towards her Ph.D. Congratulations!
Our “Theory of cross phenomena and their coefficients beyond Onsager theorem” was recently featured in a news article by Penn State, where Dr. Liu discusses how a better understanding of cross-phenomena will enable new, improved materials in everyday applications. The news can be found here with the full Materials Research Letters available here.
Our Zentropy theory was recently featured in Penn State News, available here, where Dr. Liu presents a more general-audience perspective on what Zentropy Theory is and how it may impact the discovery of materials and other fields. The full theory was published earlier this year in the Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion and is available here.
