Explores precipitation hardening in alloys, emphasizing the control of precipitation kinetics and the role of dislocations in strengthening mechanisms.
Explores the mechanical properties and microstructure of aluminum alloys, focusing on the Al-Mg system and the effects of dislocations, grain size, and heat treatment.
Explores metal plasticity mechanisms, including hardening by solid solution and precipitation, dislocation forests, and polymer behavior in relation to temperature and deformation speed.
Explores path collective variables for sampling structural phase transformations, focusing on solid-solid transformations and topologically close-packed phases in complex alloys.
