Metal Alloys Design (MADe) Lab.

Our work in the 'MADe' lab. has been mainly focused on the design, development and analysis of multi-component metal alloys such as lightweight alloys (Mg/Al/Ti alloys), bulk-amorphous and high-entropy alloys with high specific strength, and steels with enhanced toughness, all of which are needed for structural and/or biomedical applications. Our research activities are mostly supplemented with modeling and simulations to more clearly understand atomistic mechanisms governing relationships among microstructure, property, and performance for our novel alloys under development.
