Research summary
My research consists of developing and using various computational methods, including molecular dynamics, Coarse graining kinetic Monte Carlo, Phase Field and Crystal Plasticity-FEA, to design new materials -and improve existing ones- used in structural applications on aerospace, nuclear, wind, and transport. We also have significant work on materials for the H economy, from predicting H embrittlement in materials used H storage/transport to metal catalysts for H generation.
