About our group

Undergraduate computational/experimental materials science research to develop novel compositionally-complex metal alloys

Focus for 2022-2025: 

non-toxic brass alloys to meet international health demands

We collaborate with researchers at the University of New South Wales in Australia and expert HMC alumni

Chromalume: a family of compositionally-complex ductile ferritic stainless steel substitutes 

We have made pretty alloys with gold, silver, platinum and palladium. These include colored alloys, alloys with unexpected ductility (in combo with rare-earth elements), potential catalysts and work that is leading to some methods for new brass computation

Light alloys are sought after for energy efficiency. Projects here have been on light and strong Mg+rare-earth alloys and thermodynamics of Al+Ti+more alloys. We've also done projects on shape memory alloys and magnetic properties
