Expertise
  1. Structure-property correlations of ceramic, high-temperature alloy, and microelectronic materials.
  2. Modeling and simulations of multi-scale and mulch-physics coupled phenomena

 

  1. Additive manufacturing or 3D printing;
  2. Renewable energy (thermal barrier coating, lithium ion battery, hydrogen transport membrane, solid oxide fuel cell);
  3. Multi-scale modeling (finite element method, discrete element method, molecular dynamics, ab initio method);
  4. Coupled phenomena (thermal and electrical properties, mass transport), and their applications to processing (additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, compaction and sintering, metal forming);
  5. Ceramic materials for biomedical and power generation applications.
