TEACHING INTERESTS
Physical metallurgy courses involving phase transformations and heat treatment; metals processing courses involving casting, forming, and powder metallurgy; thermodynamics and phase equilibria; magnetic materials and devices, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and nanoscience and technology.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Processing, microstructural evaluation, and structure-processing-property correlations in magnetic, electronic and structural materials; development of thin film and bulk magnetic materials for data storage, high energy permanent magnet, and magnetostrictive applications; III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors; thermal diode structures, rapid solidification and powder metallurgy of intermetallics and composites.
Current Projects
- Microstructure-property evaluation of high-density longitudinal and perpendicular thin-film magnetic storage media
- Magnetostrictive materials: Control of texture and composition to improve magnetostrictive properties of terfenol and other iron-based alloys
- Structure-property relationships in high-energy-density NdFeB magnets
- Thermal diode structures
