I came to this country in July 1990 to pursue a Ph. D. in Materials Science and Engineering , at the University of Pennsylvania , where I worked in fatigue of FCC materials under the supervision of Prof. Campbell Laird. This includes cyclic deformation and fracture and also some modeling of stresses at interfaces and second phase inclusions. I used to be a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Materials Science at Los Alamos National Laboratory .
Compatibility stresses at bimaterial interfaces.
Basic dislocation deformation mechanisms in high temperature materials. Dislocation structures of fatigued Cu bicrystals. Texture effects on the cyclic behavior of Cu polycrystals. The summer time is not as friendly here as it is in Northern New Mexico for outdoor activities, i.e., biking, hiking, fishing, and stuff like that, but I am sure I will get used to it.
