My research is in the general area of diffusional phase transformations. Of particular interest is the influence of compositional and epitaxial strains on the thermodynamic description of crystals, the evolution of microstructure in thin films and bulk alloys, and the effect of stress on the kinetics of phase transformations. Our work consists primarily of theory and simulation.
