Our research is founded on the principles of Solid Mechanics. Many of the material systems we use in everyday life exhibit strong coupling between solid mechanics and other fields, such as electrochemistry, electronics, and mass transport. Our research seeks to understand these coupled interactions and discover the fundamental mechanisms that govern system performance, reliability, and long-term stability.
1. Chemo-Mechanics of Electrochemical Battery
We investigate the coupled electrochemical and mechanical behavior of battery materials and systems, with particular interest in how stress, deformation, fracture, and interfacial evolution influence electrochemical performance and long-term stability.
2. Chemo-Mechanics of Thermal Energy Storage
We study the chemo-mechanical behavior of thermal energy storage systems, particularly thermochemical energy storage (TCES) systems, to understand how reversible chemical reactions, phase transformations, and associated volume changes induce stress, deformation, and fracture during repeated thermal cycling.
3. Multiscale Mechanics
We investigate the mechanical behavior of materials across multiple length scales, connecting nanoscale deformation and local failure mechanisms with the macroscopic mechanical response and structural reliability of materials.
4. Mass Transport in Solids
We study mass transport in solids and its coupling with mechanics, including electromigration in metals, to understand how electrical driving forces, stress, defects, and microstructural evolution govern atomic transport and material degradation.
