Welcome to a world where the boundaries of science are constantly being pushed and the impossible becomes reality. In our lab, we are exploring the cutting edge of materials innovation in ways that were once the stuff of science fiction. Whether it’s creating biomaterials to enhance human health, engineering super-strong materials that can withstand the harshest environments—including those beyond Earth—or developing smart, adaptable materials that respond dynamically to their surroundings, our work is reshaping the future.

​

Our research is centered around three groundbreaking areas:

• Metal-to-Polymer Direct Bonding: We’re pioneering molecular-level surface treatments to bond metals and polymers without adhesives, leading to stronger, more durable connections in critical applications.

​​

• Additive Manufacturing: By leveraging advanced techniques like directed energy deposition and powder bed fusion, we are creating heterostructures from dissimilar materials, revolutionizing design and manufacturing across industries.

​

• Advanced Titanium Alloys: Our work with titanium alloys is pushing the boundaries in aerospace, biomedical implants, and shape memory alloys, offering innovative solutions to some of the world’s toughest engineering challenges.

​

• Structural Nuclear Materials: In this domain, we are advancing materials by dispersing oxide nanoparticles into metallic matrices, significantly enhancing their performance in nuclear environments.
