The
group
has broad
interests in
nanomechanical
characterization
and atomistic
scale
simulations in
physical and
chemical
properties of
nanoscale
materials.
Research
Interests
Synthesis,
processing,
and mechanical
characterization
of
nano-structured
metallic
coatings, thin
films and
nanocomposites.
Atomistic
mechanisms of
the yielding
and plasticity
in nano
particles,
nanowires,
nanocrystalline
metals and
metallic
glasses.
Kinetics
of grain
boundary and
triple
junctions.
Interaction
of
nanowires/nano
particles/carbon
nanotubes and
bio-molecules.
