RESEARCH INTERESTS

Development and application of advanced computational tools (molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, density functional theory, mesoscale methods, etc.) for investigation of the behavior and properties of novel materials and structural elements for the emerging high-technology applications. The current areas of research are:

• Mechanical properties of nanocrystalline metals, alloys and composites
• Material response to shock loading and deformation at high strain rates
• Growth and self assembly of nanostructures (quantum dots, nanowires)
• Development of interatomic potentials for multi-component systems
• Development of multiscale modeling methods to expand time and length scales

HIGHLIGHTS

	The paper "Atomic scale simulations of ductile failure micromechanisms in nanocrystalline Cu at high strain rates," published in Physical Review B 80, 104108 (2009), has been selected for the October 5, 2009 issue of Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science & Technology .
