My research interests span the area of mechanics of metallic materials in extreme environments to understand the mechanical behavior of materials at different environmental conditions, length scales, and to use the information to develop materials and material systems for advanced technological applications (nuclear engineering, aerospace engineering, and smart mobility system). During my Ph.D., I am focusing on developing experimental techniques (custom-built mechanical tester for extreme environments, in situ SEM nanoindenter setup for micro-scale fatigue) to test the thermal, corrosive mechanical behavior of materials at multi-scale and different environments. Current research projects focus on developing advanced metallic alloys for high temperature creep applications and understanding fatigue mechanisms of single crystal materials.Â
