RESEARCH INTEREST

•  Alloy design for bulk metallic glass with enhanced glass forming ability and mechanical properties

•  Analysis of nanostructured / ultrafine materials

•  Nanogranular microstructure characterizations using X-ray diffraction method (conventional XRD, small angle X-ray scattering), transmission electron microscopy (conventional TEM, high resolution TEM), neutron scattering method (small angle neutron scattering, high resolution neutron diffraction), and 3 dimensional atom probe field ion microscopy.

•  Light alloys (Quasicrystalline phase hardened Mg-based metallic alloy )

•  Application of glassy materials

(BMG matrix ex-situ composites, strip casting, spark plasma sintering, microforming using microelectro mechanical system (MEMS) process, joining of BMG, and medical devices material (e.g. biological sensor) using wear resistance and manufacturability)
