Current Research
My current PhD research at Louisiana Tech University focuses on a surface engineering technique aimed at mitigating fatigue crack growth in steel structures through very low current density iron electroplating. The core of my work involves applying iron onto corroded steel specimens and evaluating the effectiveness of the plating by measuring Open Circuit Potential (OCP) values before and after electroplating. A noticeable shift in OCP serves as an electrochemical indicator of how well the plating modifies the steel surface and potentially reinforces crack-prone regions. This approach is being explored as a non-invasive, in-situ treatment for structural components. Particularly in applications where replacing or welding cracked tubes is not feasible.
In 2024, I presented this ongoing research at the Graduate Symposium hosted by Louisiana Tech University, where I had the opportunity to engage with faculty, peers, and researchers from across disciplines. The feedback and questions I received during the poster session offered valuable perspectives that continue to shape the direction of my work. I’m especially grateful to my advisor, Dr. Henry Cardenas, for his unwavering support and mentorship throughout this journey. As the project evolves, I am refining the electroplating process parameters, improving surface characterization methods, and moving toward long-term crack propagation studies to validate the technique’s practical impact.
