I joined the CSM faculty after 14 years of research and research management in the steel industry. I teach introductory materials, phase stability, and physical metallurgy of ferrous/non-ferrous alloys at the undergraduate level, and ferrous physical metallurgy at the graduate level. My background is in physical metallurgy and solid-state phase transformations, as well as product development including alloy design/processing response/application and performance.
My research interests involve ferrous physical metallurgy in general, and my desire to link the fundamentals of physical metallurgy with industrial applications. I am extensively involved with the Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center and help facilitate the strong relationships developed between CSM faculty/students and the steel producing/consuming community. The Center conducts leading programs in sheet, plate, bar, and stainless steels to develop a better understanding of alloying, microstructure, processing, and performance of steels for a variety of industrial applications.
