WELCOME TO OUR LABORATORY

We focus on applying continuum mechanics–based principles to the design and understanding of advanced structural, energy, and environmental materials under extreme thermal, mechanical, and chemical conditions. Our research integrates manufacturing, multi-scale characterization, and computational modeling to reveal process–structure–property relationships.

Key topics include solid-state joining and non-conventional processing for dissimilar and functionally graded metallic materials. We investigate microstructural design strategies to enhance strength–ductility synergy, creep resistance, and mechanical reliability in advanced alloys and architected structures. Corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and hydrogen embrittlement are studied through combined experimental and modeling approaches to ensure long-term durability. In parallel, we develop predictive frameworks using finite element analysis and data-driven methods for thermal, mechanical, and electrochemical behavior. 

Through these efforts, we aim to provide fundamental insights and practical design guidelines for high-performance materials across aerospace, energy, and electronic applications.
