SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: Xiaoxi Wang
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Bagley Hall (BAG)Campus room: 154Accessibility Contact: Matthew Yankowitz\, myank@uw.eduEvent Types: Lectures/Seminars \nTitle: Materials Development and Case Study for Aerospace Applications \nAbstract: The talk will focus on materials development and case studies for aerospace applications\, highlighting innovations in advanced materials such as composites\, plastics\, and foams used in commercial airplanes. Dr. Wang will cover his career journey\, the critical roles of materials and process engineers in aerospace\, and specific case studies including cryogenic insulation\, foam ducts\, foam art frames\, and expandable tooling for composites repair and manufacturing. Emphasizing the importance of meeting design loads\, environmental conditions\, and maintainability while balancing cost\, manufacturability\, sustainability\, safety\, and lifecycle value. Dr. Wang will also reflect on his professional growth\, encouraging active involvement in professional associations\, persistence\, and embracing diversity\, underscoring the broad impact of materials throughout an aircraft’s lifecycle. \nBio: Dr. Xiaoxi Wang\, a Boeing Technical Fellow and Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Fellow\, is from the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Product Development (BAC PD) focusing on Technology\, Materials\, and Sustainability. Holder of 47 issued U.S. patents with 27 more pending\, his work has been adopted across more than 3\,000 Boeing aircrafts\, including 737\, 787 and 777X. Dr. Wang produced over 20 publications for major journals and international conferences. Prior to joining Boeing in 2012\, he was a Senior Scientist and an National Science Foundation (NSF) Grant Awardee/PI in MicroGREEN Polymers Inc. He takes leadership roles in professional organizations including Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE)\, Asian American Engineer of the Year (AAEOY)\, Foam Expo North America\, Boeing collaboration with University of Washington Materials Science & Engineering Department\, Boeing Leadership Network (BLN)\, and Boeing Asian and Pacific Association (BAPA). He was elected as Conference Chair for FOAMS® 2026.Dr. Wang earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from University of Washington in 2007. He was named 2025 BCA PD Engineer of the Year.

SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: Shuolong Yang
DESCRIPTION:Event interval: Single day eventCampus location: Bagley Hall (BAG)Campus room: 154Accessibility Contact: Matthew Yankowitz\, myank@uw.eduEvent Types: Lectures/Seminars \nTitle: Engineering Topological Quantum Matter in Space and Time. \nAbstract: Topology has emerged as a unifying principle in modern condensed matter physics and materials science\, enabling quantum phases that are remarkably robust yet exquisitely sensitive to their underlying environment. While traditional approaches to topological materials discovery rely on chemistry\, the rise of moiré quantum materials suggests a different strategy: engineering topology by tailoring the physical environment. \n In this talk I will highlight my group’s recent efforts to control scalable topological quantum matter using two fundamental physical knobs – space and time. We constructed a unique testbed to manipulate and probe materials at femtosecond time scale and atomic-layer spatial scale . In space\, by precision control of dimensionality\, we demonstrate 2-quintuple-layer Bi2Te3 and MnBi2Te4/Bi2Te3 as robust 2D topological insulators with an inverted gap greater than 100 meV\, suggesting a potential quantum spin Hall effect operating at ambient temperature . In time\, we show that topological electronic states carry intrinsic layer-dependent vibrational fingerprints. By “listening” to these frequencies as the states couple to coherent phonons\, we develop a quantum stethoscope capable of resolving long-standing puzzles in magnetic topological insulators\, including the elusive broken-symmetry energy gap . In combined space-time co-engineering\, I will present our latest results integrating photonic crystal cavities with ultrathin topological insulators to realize cavity-driven Floquet engineering . This platform represents a new class of physical-environment control experiments\, where the ground states of topological materials are reshaped simultaneously in space and time. Together\, these examples illustrate a paradigm in which topological phenomena can be designed and manipulated by engineering the physical environment\, and potentially stabilized near ambient conditions – opening pathways toward scalable quantum materials and devices. \nReferences C.
