Our group is comprised of faculty, staff, postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate students, and high school interns - all working together to develop innovative solutions to real-world applications. A few core beliefs of the Lab:

• Perform research to the highest academic and ethical standards

• Provide open access publications and research results whenever possible

• Build a meaningful, international collaborative network of colleagues

• Create a welcoming, supportive climate for all group members and collaborators

The majority of our research is guided by computational thermodynamic and kinetic modeling for rapidly solidified materials. Simultaneously, experimentation and characterization efforts are carried out in order to validate and verify our computational modeling. Experimental methods include SEM/TEM, nanoindentation, XRD, and much more. This approach to research has enabled the development of advanced cold spray processing, metal additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, and more.
