Research Areas
My research program is focused on problems at the intersection of solid mechanics, materials and manufacturing. We address the effects from manufacturing processes on the mechanical properties and structural integrity of conventional, advanced engineering and biological materials. While not limited to machining, the laboratory has a primary focus on material removal processes and their contribution to the short- and long-term component performance, health, and safety issues. Some of our most recent efforts have been in the fields of orthopedics and restorative dentistry and have focused on the influence of existing treatment modalities on the mechanical behavior of hard tissues and lifelong health. The laboratory is well equipped to investigate fundamental issues related to machining and material removal, and to solve research and development problems of industrial relevance.
