Research Information
Research Interests
Design, synthesis and new processing methods to advance the state of the art and the performance of
- energy storage and power-providing materials
- lighter, stronger and more corrosion-resistant materials for improved infrastructure, transport, civilian, biomedical and defense-related applications
- Structural and functional materials for low and high temperatures
- Elastic & plastic deformation, strength, performance under fatigue and creep conditions
- Functional materials for high energy density and power - must be reliable and safely usable
- New development in lighweight materials:
- through cell-composite design<br>-through selectirvely doped multi-layer design
