Postdoc Spotlight: Tiange Bi predicts new materials under pressure
Tiange Bi uses her interdisciplinary set of skills and computational expertise to predict the synthesis of new materials. Her research is primarily focused on crystal structure prediction of new clathrate structures and theoretical studies of the transport properties of iron alloys in the Earth and planetary cores.

Thomas Shiell is a materials scientist who works with the synthesis and characterization of new forms of silicon—specifically the newly discovered silicon allotrope Si24. Recently, Shiell used this new form of silicon as a starting point of a multi-stage synthesis pathway to develop a highly ordered form of silicon called 4H-Si for its four repeating hexagonal layers (pictured below).v
