Research interests

  • 3D structural characterization of polycrystalline microstructures in bulk materials & thin films
  • thermodynamics and kinetics of polycrystalline materials
  • microstructural developments in single- and multi-phase polycrystalline metals and alloys
  • morphogenesis in biomineralized materials systems
  • multi-scale materials and their mechanical and thermal behavior
  • modeling and simulation of coarsening processes such as recrystallization, grain growth and Ostwald ripening
  • statistical self-similarity and fractal analysis of polyhedral networks
