About
I am interested in modeling the kinetic and mechanical properties of materials. I am using Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods to perform atomistic simulations. I have worked on investigation of mechanical strength and thermal stability of Cu-Ta alloys, solute drag effect in Cu-Ag alloys, diffusion in Al-Mg alloys, and grain recrystallization and refinement in severely deformed Al.
