Research Engineer II (2019- 2022)

• Performed microstructural characterization of materials using techniques such as SEM, TEM, EBSD, and others

• Developed lower length scale simulations at microscale and mesoscale levels for multiscale modeling efforts to predict materials performance

• New alloy design using controlled process optimization through understanding of process-structure-property relation

• Developed physics based models to predict material behavior at various length scales

Graduate Research Assistant (2014-2018)

• Modeled crystal plasticity relations to incorporate physics-based twin nucleation criterion.

• Performed in-situ electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) tests using field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM).

• Analyzed twin patterning behavior seen in three-point bending of highly textured Mg alloys using three-point bending digital image correlation (DIC) experiments.

• Performed phase-field modeling of martensitic phase transformation (MPT) of Zirconium alloys for 3D case scenario.
