 on: MAE-A 303\nDr. Lucas Lindsay\nResearch Scientist at Materials Science 
 and Technology Division\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory\nAbstract\nThe man
 agement of thermal energy is a ubiquitous challenge in numerous sciences a
 nd technologies\, from global climate issues to managing local hot spots i
 n microelectronics. Computational materials modeling is playing an ever-in
 creasing role in developing fundamental insights into vibrational and ther
 mal behaviors of solids\, which determine the utility of a material for ap
 plications including thermoelectricity\, nuclear power generation\, and he
 at dissipation. Here\, I will discuss theoretical and numerical advances t
 owards modeling lattice dynamical properties and thermal conductivity of m
 aterials\, with specific examples to highlight predictive capabilities and
  the role of symmetries.\nL.L. acknowledges support from the U. S. Departm

 nces and Engineering Division.\nBiography\nDr. Lucas Lindsay received a BS
  degree in physics from the College of Charleston in 2004. He did his PhD 
 work on theoretical thermal transport in carbon nanostructures at Boston C
 ollege and received his PhD in 2010. Following this he taught physics for 
 two years at Christopher Newport University\, then spent three years as a 
 National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the U.S. Naval Research L
 aboratory in Washington\, D.C. He has been a research scientist in the Mat
 erials Science and Technology Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory si
 nce 2014. He received the Department of Energy Early Career Award in 2019.
  His general research area is the theoretical description of vibrational a
 nd transport properties of condensed matter.\nMAE Faculty Host: Dr. Jaeyun
