Research Interests:
• Thermal, elastic, mechanical properties of ceramic, metal, intermetallic, and composite    materials for high temperature applications
• Processing/structure/properties/performance relationships
• Metastable and equilibrium phase relationships
• Polymer precursor routes to fabrication of ceramics and composites via direct foaming    and infiltration
• Slow crack growth and fracture behavior of glasses and ceramics
Thermal fatigue behavior of monolithic and composite materials


Technologies impacted by research:
Solid oxide fuel cells; heat exchangers; radiant tubes; thermal and environmental barrier coatings; land-based and airborne gas turbine systems; hot gas filtration and separation; glass manufacturing; machine tools and tribological applications; ceramic-, glass-, metal-, and intermetallic composite design; preceramic polymer precursor processing of foams, composites, coatings and for joining; development of advanced materials for enhanced recovery of oil and natural gas.
