Our group carries out basic and application-oriented research on alloys, advanced metallic/intermetallic materials, and ceramics for structural applications. We focus on understanding structure-processing-microstructure relationships to develop and optimize particularly Superalloys, metallic alloys (ordered and disordered), and advanced ceramics for high-temperature applications. We combine various conventional mechanical testing and high throughput experiments to understand these materials' mechanical behavior. We also employ detailed microstructural/structural characterization and conjugate various mathematical and computational tools to understand the materials better.
