Qiu, Xiujiao (author), Chen, J. (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Prediction of alkali silica reaction is still difficult due to the lack of a comprehensive understanding of its chemical fundamentals. In-site experimentally revealing the fundamentals is not realistic as ASR shows over several years or even decades and is affected by many factors. In this paper, by utilizing a 3D reactive-transport...journal article 2022

Yuan, Wucheng (author), Liu, Ke (author), Wang, S. (author), Tan, C. (author), Ye, H. (author)The limitation of Silicon based power MOSFET was broken by the super-junction (SJ) structure, which can provide lower specific on-resistance and higher breakdown voltage compared with the conventional power MOSFET structure.

Chen, J. (author), Martin, Pablo (author), Xu, Z. (author), Manzano, Hegoi (author), Dolado, Jorge S. (author), Ye, G. (author)Portland cement is the most produced material in the world. The hydration process of cement consists of a group of complex chemical reactions. In order to investigate the mechanism of cement hydration, it is vital to study the hydration of each phase separately. An integrated model is proposed in this paper to simulate the dissolution of...journal article 2021

Data-driven models, especially neural network (NN) models can predict streamflow fast, while the results are uncertain in some complex river systems. Physically based models can reveal the underlying physics, but it is relatively slow and computationally...journal article 2021

Zuo, Y. (author), Qian, Zhiwei (author), Garboczi, Edward J. (author), Ye, G. (author)Many particle-based numerical models have been used to simulate the hydration process of cementitious materials. Most of those models employ regular shape particles, like the commonly used spheres, to represent cement, slag, or fly ash, which neglects the influence of particle shape. To deal with this issue, this study extended the Anm material...journal article 2018
