Current thesis work

Additive manufacturing of tungsten alloys

Investigating the materials and processing challenges that limit additive manufacturing of tungsten alloys for extreme environments.

Prior work

Steels and titanium

Studying how laser-based processing conditions affect microstructure and mechanical performance in additively manufactured stainless steels and titanium alloys, including in-situ laser annealing of Ti-6Al-4V.

Irradiation effects

Irradiation effects in materials used in fusion systems, including tungsten and superconducting magnet materials.
