Description:About the Seminar\n\nThe idea of living on Mars or the Moon has
  been a staple of science fiction since the 19th century.  However\, if t
 his sci-fi dream were to ever become reality\, what would it be like to li
 ve there?  Conditions make living on Mars extremely challenging.  In par
 ticular\, materials needed for such extreme environments need to be discov
 ered and designed.  In this talk\, we will present an overview and curren
 t research on carbide and boride materials\, especially their crystallogra
 phy\, for potential uses at extreme environments\, including ultra-high an
 d ultra-low temperatures\, impact\, and radiation.  We will also describe
  recent work on charge regulation\, electrical double layer interaction fo
 rces\, and catalytic responses of nanoparticle superstructures for use at 
 extremes of pH\, particularly ceramic/polymer hybrids.\n\nAbout the Speake

 \n\n&nbsp\;\n\nProf. Olivia A. Graeve (http://graeve.ucsd.edu/) joined the
  University of California San Diego in 2012 and is currently the Jacobs Fa
 mily Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\,
  Director of the CaliBaja Center for Resilient Materials and Systems (http
 ://resilientmaterials.ucsd.edu/)\, and Director of the Materials Science a
 nd Engineering Program.  She holds a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engin
 eering (2001) from the University of California\, Davis\, and a Bachelor o
 f Science degree in Structural Engineering (1995) from the University of C
 alifornia San Diego.  Her area of research focuses on the design and proc
 essing of new materials for extreme environments\, including extremes of t
 emperature\, pressure\, and radiation.  Prof. Graeve has been involved in
  many activities related to the recruitment and retention of women and His
 panic students in science and engineering and has received several prestig
 ious awards including the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science\, M
 athematics and Engineering Mentoring in 2020.  She has been inducted into
  the Tijuana Walk of Fame (2014)\, the Mexican Academy of Engineering (201
 6)\, the Mexican Academy of Sciences (2019)\, the Latin American Academy o
 f Sciences (2022)\, and has been named Fellow of the American Ceramic Soci
 ety (2017) and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science 
 (2021). 4:00 pm
