Theses from Computational Materials Science Group, Bangalore

These are some of the theses written in the Computational Materials Science Group (CMSG) headed by Abi at the Department of Metallurgy, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, INDIA. I spent nearly ten years (August 1996 to May 2006) at CMSG. If you are interested in the computational aspects of phase trasnformations, you might find Abi's page and these theses to be of interest. Have fun!
