Research Interests

Physical and mechanical metallurgy of multiphase metallic materials. My research focuses on metallic alloys, composites, foams and scaffolds, with particular emphasis on measuring and modeling their mechanical properties in light of their microstructure. Strong focus in the area of additive manufacturing of metals via ink extrusion + sintering or via selective laser melting, as well as green manufacturing of metals. Use of synchrotron X-ray radiation to study strains, phase composition and tomography in situ and operando.
