Fundamental processing-microstructure-property-performance relationships in metallic and composite materials. Specific areas of interest include:

• Ultrafine-grained and nano structured materials by severe plastic deformation
• Processing and consolidation of and metastable particulate materials
• Microstructural optimization of lightweight/high-specific strength metals and refractory metals
• Tailored nanocrystalline microstructures with high thermal stability
• Deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline metallic alloys
• High-rate mechanical response of fine-grained materials
• Computational materials simulation and design
