About Us
Our group specializes in fundamental understanding of atomic structure, ordering,
crystal chemistry, microstructure and their relationship with material properties
to design novel functional ceramic materials. We conduct a wide spectrum of materials
science and engineering research: interdisciplinary as well as core materials research;
applied and fundamental; microstructure and property modeling; instrumentation and
software design/development; aqueous corrosion; and aerospace materials. Our group
has developed novel instrumentation and methods to conduct in-situ investigations
of materials at high temperatures (up to 2000°C) in air and in user defined environments
(up to 1500°C) using synchrotron radiation.
