研究领域

My research is focused on two principle areas: i) the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations and microstructural changes in the metallic solid state, and ii) the relationship between mechanical properties and microstructure of metals and alloys. This work contains both experimental and theoretical components with an emphasis on model development at the mesoscale. My current research activities can be classified under three topics: Recovery, Recrystallization and Grain Growth The effects of solute and precipitates on static and dynamic recrystallization processes in Fe, Mg and Cu based systems. The effect of recovery on the nucleation of recrystallization Phase Transformations Thermodynamics and kinetics of atomic clustering processes in Al and Mg alloys Effects of solute on the kinetics of the austenite to ferrite transformation in Fe-C-X alloys The design of non-isothermal heat treatment schedules for precipitation hardening systems Mechanical Properties Solute and Precipitate Effects on the Work Hardening of Al Alloys Strength-Elongation combinations in inhomogeneous solid solutions Solute and Precipitate Effects on the creep and fatigue properties of Al alloys
