Research Interests:
- Micromechanisms of deformation in metals, ceramics and composites; slip, twinning, phase transformation, domain flipping, cracking. Experimental and modelling.
- Development and application of advanced neutron and x-ray scattering techniques in materials research, optimisation of diffraction optics, data analysis and statistical treatments. Experimental and modelling.
- Application of the above to engineering mechanics, components and processes.
- Nuclear materials
Openings:
I am looking for enthusiastic and talented Graduate students (MSc and PhD (Canadian or international)) in the areas of
-
(thermo)mechanical testing; thermomechanical processing
-
materials modelling;
NEW opportunities: solid mechanics; finite element modelling - materials characterisation; electron microscopy
Students with a background in materials engineering, materials science or physics would be ideal, but get in touch if you are interested.
