Areas of Interest
My primary research interest is in the relationships among the microstructure, properties, and processing of materials. Quantification of microstructure (through techniques such as electron, atomic force, and optical microscopy) is the essential link in understanding how materials behave. Study of microstructure-property relationships tells us how materials "work" and how they can be improved. Processing studies allow this information to be put to practical use in fabricating materials with improved microstructures and, therefore, properties. Areas of research interest include quantification of the surface microstructure of engineering materials, thermal and mechanical behavior in dental applications, experimental and robust design, precision grinding of optical materials; composite material fabrication by powder, deformation, and rapid thermal processing. In teaching I am active in both materials science and mechanical engineering at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Areas of special emphasis include material processing, experimental design/robust design, and experimental methods.
