Research Interests:

• Microstructural investigation techniques: high energy X-ray applications, X-ray diffraction (XRD), high energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM), high energy X-ray tomography, phase contrast tomography, three-dimensional X-ray microscopy (3DXRD), diffraction tomography, small angle scattering, synchrotron radiation.
  
• Mechanical investigation and characterization of solid metallic alloys and metallic foams. Intergranular and intraganular stress and strain characterization.
  
• Relationship between structural and mechanical properties of heterogeneous materials, especially metal foams, solid solutions, age hardened alloys and composites. Description of their mechanical and thermal properties, precipitation kinetics, coupling of local and global statistical descriptors with overall properties.
  
• Plastic deformation mechanisms, work hardening, isotropic and anisotropic behavior, role and development of lattice faults in metallic alloys during thermo-mechanical process.
  
• Three-dimensional grain mapping, local orientation description, grain boundary characterization, intergranular interactions, intragranular strains. Structural characterization methods: 3D and 2D structure descriptor functions, probabilistic evaluation methods, correlation functions.
  
• Three dimensional structural characterization of materials including their three dimensional mechanical multi-scale finite element simulations based on real and statistically equivalent microstructures.
  
• Instrumentation and measurement technique developments in scientific and metrology applications.
