Personal profile

Research interests

My research interests focus on advanced materials engineering, particularly the design and processing of lightweight alloys. I am interested in understanding how processing methods such as casting and thermomechanical treatment influence microstructure, including recrystallization behavior and dislocation mechanisms, to achieve an optimal balance between strength and ductility.

I am especially drawn to heterogeneous microstructure design and its role in enhancing mechanical performance. Additionally, I aim to integrate experimental techniques with computational modeling and digital twin approaches to predict material behavior and optimize processing.

My goal is to contribute to the development of high-performance materials for structural applications in aerospace and energy sector.
