Goal(s):

• Develop and utilize operando and multiscale techniques to probe additive manufacturing processes in real time, at the microstructural level.
• Leverage additive manufacturing techniques for material development and functionality optimization.
• Thermomechanical processing of metals, including grain boundary engineering, high pressure torsion, and related deformation methods
• Tacking recrystallization across processing methods, from rolling to additive manufacturing.
• Powder metallurgy and related press and sinter methods
