Chen Wei

Chen Wei is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Design and Innovation at the University of Buffalo's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on data-driven and physics-based modeling of material systems, computational design of multi-principal element materials, and materials informatics for accelerated discovery.

Recent research highlights include:

• Discovery of intrinsic temperature-dependent elastic anisotropy in NbTaTiV high entropy alloys (Science Advances 2022)
• Development of interpretable AI frameworks for multiscale materials design (NSF-funded 2019-2025)
• Creation of open thermodynamic databases with over 1200 metallic phase entries (Scientific Data 2017)

Scientific Awards:

• NSF CAREER Award (2020) for high-entropy alloy research

Notable collaborations include University of Tennessee (Prof. Peter Liaw), National Chiao Tung University (Prof. Yi-Chia Chou), and institutions like University of Colorado Boulder, Ohio State University, and Columbia University through NSF grants.
