Fatigue and fracture of engineering materials: my research focuses on characterization and understanding of the relationship between microstructures and fatigue (low cycle fatigue as well as fatigue crack growth) and fracture behavior of engineering alloys and composites

Corrosion and environmental cracking of engineering alloys: my interest aims to gain mechanistic understanding of the interaction between a corrosive environment and the crack tip processes that influence the kinetics of cracking in engineering alloys.

High temperature corrosion of materials and coatings: my area of interest includes oxidation of alloys, hot corrosion of super alloys, and degradation of thermal barrier coatings.

Corrosion of Metal Matrix Composites: my research in this area focused on characterizing corrosion behavior of Aluminum alloys reinforced with particulates and protection by conversion coatings.
