Research & Development

​Ongoing Projects:

​

• Additive manufacturing (AM): Focused on directed energy deposition (DED), powder bed fusion (PBF), and electrochemical printing.

• Corrosion and mechanical behavior as well as hydrogen interaction with additive manufactured (3D-printed) alloys.

• Materials durability in space applications.

• Electrochemical deposition of functional metals, alloys and metallic glasses.

• Bioactive coatings for implants: Development of novel electrochemically-deposited calcium phosphate coatings for dental and orthopedic implants. Our lab's coatings have already outperformed commercial plasma-sprayed alternatives and are progressing toward market adoption.
