- This Project Grant award, valued at $104,060, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Drexel University. The award supports a 5-year research and education project aimed at understanding how dislocations (crystalline defects) move and how their motion affects the deformation behavior of a class of materials known as concentrated solid-solution alloys (CSAs). The project integrates statistical theories,...
- This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to systematically understand the dislocation-phonon drag regime in metallic materials across a wide range of strain rates. The research aims to develop a novel, small-scale, high-throughput approach to study the characteristics of dislocation-phonon interactions in metals and alloys at extremely high deformation rates. The integrated experimental-computational...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award of $299,985 provides a research fellowship to an associate professor and training for a graduate student at the University of South Carolina. The research project, conducted in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, will investigate the fundamental deformation mechanisms responsible for the exceptional strength and ductility in heterogeneous lamella-structured metals. The project will develop a validated multiscale crystal plasticity finite element model to explore the deformation physics of these materials across multiple length scales. The results will support the development of advanced structural metals for automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing applications, while also contributing to workforce development by educating a new generation of engineers in high-performance materials design and processing.
