Explores path collective variables for sampling structural phase transformations, focusing on solid-solid transformations and topologically close-packed phases in complex alloys.
Explores metal plasticity mechanisms, including hardening by solid solution and precipitation, dislocation forests, and polymer behavior in relation to temperature and deformation speed.
Explores plasticity in single crystals, including mechanisms of plastic flow and strain hardening, with a focus on dislocation behavior and geometrically necessary dislocations.
