New research from CEAT is advancing how materials perform in extreme environments.

Dr. Ritesh Sachan, from the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, has led work classifying a new category of ceramic materials known as high-entropy oxides. His team’s findings, which show significantly improved resistance to radiation damage at the atomic level, were recently featured on the cover of ACS Nano.

By combining advanced electron microscopy with machine learning in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, the research provides new insight into how materials behave under high-energy conditions such as those found in space or advanced electronic systems.

The work represents a step forward in designing materials capable of performing reliably in some of engineering’s most demanding environments."

Artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented demand for data centers—and reshaping how we think about energy, water, and infrastructure.

The Data Center Symposium 2026: Energy and Water brought together leaders from industry, academia, and government to explore what’s next.

From grid reliability and cooling technologies to water use, infrastructure planning, and workforce development, the conversations highlighted what it will take to support this rapid growth responsibly.

“Meeting this moment will require reliable power, practical permitting, workforce readiness, and a clear commitment to responsible community stewardship,” said Katie Altshuler of the Hamm Institute for American Energy.

Bruce Mutume’s research is helping address one of geothermal energy’s biggest challenges: how materials perform deep underground under extreme heat and reactive conditions.

The chemical engineering Ph.D. student recently earned third place in the poster competition at the 2025 Geothermal Rising Conference for his work studying the geochemical resilience of proppants in Enhanced Geothermal Systems. His research could help improve the long-term efficiency and reliability of sustainable geothermal energy production.

Mutume credits the collaborative environment at CEAT and mentorship from faculty and industry partners for shaping his research journey.

Imagine inhalers that don’t just deliver medication—but help guide it exactly where it’s needed most.

Researchers in CEAT are working on that possibility, using a blend of artificial intelligence and computational fluid dynamics to better understand how medicine travels through the lungs. Their approach focuses on improving delivery to the small airways—critical areas where conditions like COPD often take hold.

By pairing advanced airflow modeling with machine learning, the team is laying the groundwork for “smart inhalers” that could one day adjust to each patient’s unique breathing patterns and optimize treatment in real time.
