Research
Interests:
• Thermochemical modeling
of phase diagrams and high temperature processes (glass systems, radioactive
waste, oxide phase diagrams, corrosion, composite interfaces, CVD.)
• Solid state and high temperature chemistry
• Structure-property
correlations
• Chemical vapor deposition and other coating processes
for high temperature materials
