Currently an Professor at Iowa State University. I conduct various research programs on ultrafine grained materials, precession electron diffraction, electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM), oxidation of titanium alloys, exploration of Co-based superalloys, and opportunities for reduced cost titanium alloysSpecialties: Optical and electron microscopy, including SEM, TEM, EBSD, DB-FIB, electron tomography, STEM, HR-TEM, EDS, EELS, Robo.Met-3D, stereology, laser additive manufacturing, LENS, lasers, mechanical property determination, microstructure/property relationships, physical metallurgy, titanium metallurgyRecently (January 2018), I founded a new company focused on advanced materials characterization using lasers to probe and image the materials microstructure, including crystallographic information.
