I  focus on theoretically describing and understanding composition-structure-property relationships in metallic materials at coarser scales, in particular the micro-scale but also the meso-scale. To bridge/couple the various scales, I have focused on the development and application of theoretical approaches and modelling techniques suitable for the investigation of micro/macro-mechanical properties of metals, such as fracture analysis.  I have been active in connecting atomistic calculations with experimental measurements using multi-physics simulation tools, to develop advanced metallic materials towards desired mechanical properties by exploring the relationship between materials’ properties and structure.
