Welcome!

Our research interests are in the fields of advanced materials and manufacturing. Among materials, we study metallic glasses, crystalline metal alloys, lattice structures, and composites. We use thermoplastic forming techniques for metallic glasses and powder-bed-fusion additive manufacturing for crystalline metals. We are interested in understanding the processing-microstructure-property relationship in metallic materials. Characterization methods include electron microscopy, mechanical testing, and corrosion analysis.

Some milestones for our group:
