About Alejandro Strachan
- Alejandro Strachan is a Professor of Materials Engineering at Purdue University and the Deputy Director of NNSA's Center for the Prediction of Reliability, Integrity and Survivability of Microsystems.
- Before joining Purdue University, he was a staff member in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory and worked as a Postdoctoral Scholar and Scientist at Caltech.
- He received a Ph.D in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1999. Prof.
- Strachan's research focuses on the development of predictive atomistic and molecular simulation methodologies to describe materials from first principles, their application to problems of technological importance and quantification of associated uncertainties.
- Application areas of interest include: coupled electronic, thermal and mechanical processes in nano-electronics, MEMS and energy conversion devices; thermo-mechanical response and chemistry of polymer composites and molecular solids as well as active materials including shape memory and high-energy density materials.
