Summary of Research Interests:

My research efforts focus on the modeling and simulation of materials fabrication processes. Current interests are in the modeling of transport phenomena and metallurgy for the prediction and control of microstructure and various defects, as well as the consequent material properties, that arise during the processing of commercially interesting metal alloys. Experimental validation of the modeling efforts is an important part of the overall program. Some specific areas are: the effect of processing on the properties of ceramic-metal interfaces; the effects of various solidification and heat treating processes on microstructure and property development and on residual stresses in metal alloys; expansion and evaluation of current solidification models; and reduction of energy usage and costs in processing of materials.
