Quantum materials under high pressure

This project aims to strengthen and consolidate quantum materials research in Qatar through a focused program on high-pressure studies. High pressure is a powerful tuning parameter that enables controlled modification…

Qatar quantum materials

The research we perform is at the frontiers of science, in discovering, testing, and characterizing materials with novel quantum properties using the most powerful techniques available. Our long-term vision, based…

Structural and electronic properties of quantum magnets

Materials with correlated electronic properties may lead to completely novel technologies. As the 20th century computer technology was based on semiconductors that can be tuned between an insulating and a…

Mathematical modeling of hyperelastic materials undergoing swelling

(1) Boundary Value Problems in Non Linear Elasticity WHEN Solid Mechanics is Coupled with other effects; (2) Mathematical Modeling of Hyperelastic Materials Undergoing Swelling In standard nonlinear continuum mechanics it…

Complex material response described by continuum mechanics with a deformation gradient product decomposition that has novel hyperelastic implications

Continuum mechanics seeks to describe the mechanical response of materials at size scales in which it is impractical to resolve individual atoms, molecules or their clusters. The theory takes into…

Qatar above ground resources

Qatar has a large quantity of sand available for industrial uses. Qatar currently has a sand-treatment plant for construction purposes, but the viability of Qatari sand for float glass making…

Automated measurement of galaxy morphology

From the latest models of galaxy formation and evolution, it is becoming clear that there is a more fundamental distinction in the galaxy population than the usual classification: elliptical vs.…
