Areas of Research

Powder metallurgy, Cold-spray additive manufacturing, Mechanical behavior (dynamic and quasi-static) of materials, Microballistics: High-velocity impact of microparticles, Materials characterization
The Materials Processing and Performance (MaPP) Lab focuses on understanding the process-structure-property relationship in materials at multi-length scales, with an emphasis on materials synthesis and optimization for improved performance in extreme service conditions. We design new lightweight stable nanocrystalline alloys and further determine their crashworthiness (in comparison with the commercially available alloys) using the split Hopkinson pressure bar system. We also study the high-velocity impact behavior of single microparticles using the laser-induced particle impact tester (LIPIT) to understand the unit process of cold-spray additive manufacturing and erodent collision with fast-moving aircraft wings/blades. The group uses different advanced characterization tools, like the electron microscopes (SEM-equipped with electron back-scattered diffraction detector and TEM), atom probe tomography, focused-ion beam, to answer fundamental questions about microstructural evolutions in different material systems.
