My research group specializes in the development and application of mesoscopic, computational modeling techniques and their integration with continuum approaches for both fundamental and applied research in microstructure science and engineering. Our expertise lies in the quantitative phase-field modeling of microstructural evolution in materials. Areas of application include solidification, solid-state transformations and grain coarsening in multicomponent alloys and geomaterials, electromigration-induced damage, and self-organization in polymers and vapor-deposited films.
