+1-318-257-4190
Specialization
Computational materials science; computational electromagnetism.
Expertise
Electromagnetic theory of artificial electromagnetic materials; Nano-photonics and Plasmonics; Multi-physics self-consistent modeling of complex phenomenon pertaining to Selective Laser Melting.
Education
PhD in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University (2005); post-doctoral fellowship at University of California at Berkeley (2005-08).
Research
CIMM-supported research focuses on the development of a computational framework to self-consistently merge full-wave electromagnetic and heat transfer simulations, to gain a better understanding the complex multi-physics processes involved in Selective Laser Melting (SLM). We aim at technology optimization through understanding the effects of the metal powders microscopic structure and uniformity on laser absorptivity, increase in the SLM energy efficiencyand printing rate, reductionof vaporization and improved material utilization.
