Opportunities: Our group always encourages other research groups and industries to reach out to us with collaboration ideas. Our facilities are available to researchers from across campus and from outside the MSU community. We are also enthusiastic to solve the challenges faced by the manufacturing industries within the arena of materials science and physical metallurgy.
Students are encouraged to apply to the M.S. and Ph.D. program in Materials Science and Engineering at MSU. Faculty advisors are not assigned until the students arrive on campus. Every student accepted into the Ph.D. program will be provided financial aid in the form of a research or teaching assistantship, or a fellowship. While it is not necessary to contact faculty prior to admission, we will be happy to answer any research-related questions.
Current MSU undergraduate students interested to gain hands-on research experience in Materials Science and Engineering as volunteer researchers are also encouraged to contact us.
Scopes: All of our equipment are available to anyone from across campus and from outside the MSU community for testing or characterization such as metallography, microscopy, in-situ mechanical behavior testing inside a scanning electron microscope, creep testing, fatigue testing, corrosion fatigue testing, fatigue crack growth testing, tensile testing, compression testing, fracture toughness testing, etc. If anyone is interested in this, they should contact us to set up a testing agreement.
