Binary Al–Ce
Investigated extrusion-driven grain refinement and fragmentation of Al₁₁Ce₃, linking texture and microstructural evolution to strength, ductility, toughness, and elevated-temperature stability.

From mechanical engineering to advanced metallic materials.
My research path spans mechanical engineering, computational fluid–structure interaction, and materials science. I completed my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at Iowa State University, where I focused on rare-earth-containing aluminum alloys and their performance in demanding thermal environments.
Today, my work centers on designing processing routes that control microstructure and unlock useful combinations of strength, ductility, toughness, and thermal stability.
