My Research

I am trainning myself to be an experimentalist, however that does not stop me from dabbling with theory. Some of the tools that I use for my research can be placed in the following categories:

Mechanical Testing:

1. Thermomechanical Analyser (RSA-III)

2. ARES (For Torsional Testing)

3. INSTRON

Thermal Testing: TGA , DSC

Imaging : SEM , Optical Microscopy

X-Ray Diffraction: Monochromatic Synchrotron radiation facility at Argon National Labs

Being a Material scientist I suppose, I need a material to study. Well I have one. My research is focussed on studying Sn-based binary or tertiary alloys. These are known as green solders, or "Lead free" solders. There is a link specifically devoted to this in my site , which gives out some of the details.
