Research Interests

Physical mechanism controlling material behavior, specifically in driven system.

I work on phase transitions, response to external load (stress and irradiaiton) and other strong drive conditions. My work includes theoretical and computaitonal modeling of response to external load as well as kinetics and thermodynamics modeling.


I am a member of the ICPL

 


open positions

I am currently (as of oct 2013) seeking a Phd student for a project involving stochastic modelling of damage evolution in driven metals.

The work involves analytical and simulation modelling which will be used to understand how sagregates affect failure mechanisms. This project will involve collaboraiton with a group from Helsinki and CERN. The project is done in the context of the CLIC collaboration, where copper units are used for the accelerating cavity, and the current main life limiting factor is damage formation at these units surface.

  please contact me through email for more details
