Explores path collective variables for sampling structural phase transformations, focusing on solid-solid transformations and topologically close-packed phases in complex alloys.
Explores metal plasticity mechanisms, including hardening by solid solution and precipitation, dislocation forests, and polymer behavior in relation to temperature and deformation speed.
Explores the multiscale mechanics of metal plasticity, covering dislocations, crystal plasticity, and atomistic plasticity, with a focus on dynamic strain aging in aluminum alloys.
