个人简介：
Dr. Zhiping Xu received his B.S. (2002) and Ph.D (2007) from Tsinghua University. After working at Rice University (2007-2008) and MIT (2008-2010),  he returned to Tsinghua as an associate professor in year 2010. His recent research interests include mechanics and physics of networked materials and microscale fluid-structure interactions, and their applications in environmental and energy industries.

报告摘要：
Carbon, especially in their graphitic forms, is important in a wide variety of applications,ranging from high-performance fibers to environmental treatment. The newly added nanostructured members of this family not only shed light on promising applications, but also refresh our traditional understandings on existing materials, e.g. carbon fibers. In this talk, I will introduce our recent work on the mechanics of materials made of carbon nanostructures such as carbon nanotube networks and graphene-derived papers and fibers, with a focus on the microstructure-performance relationship and followed by some discussions on their key applications.
