Contact Information

Professor Tadmor's research focuses on understanding material response from fundamental principles rather than phenomenology. Dr. Tadmor studies microscopic processes that lead to macroscopic phenomena such as fracture and plasticity using atomic-scale modeling and multiple-scale techniques. Dr. Tadmor is also interested, on a more basic level, in the connection between continuum theory and atomistic models. Some recent specific topics include:
- The Quasicontinuum (QC) Method - continued development. For more information on the QC method please visit the QC website at http://www.qcmethod.com.
- Peierls criterion for Deformation Twinning at Crack Tips.
-Determination of Transition Paths using a Continuous Path Expansion.
- Reliability of MEMS Devices.
