Research Interests

I investigate plastic flow and fracture of solids and relate these phenomena to their underlying physical mechanisms.

Hall-Petch plot for Polycrystalline Mo films Cross-section of vickers indent in Mo film
Hall-Petch plot for hardness of polyscrystalline molybdenum thin films. d is the in-plane grain size. Cross-section of vickers indent in Mo film
