Work History

MATSE 400

Crystal Chemistry
08.2023 - Current
  • introduction to the principles of crystal chemistry and its use in describing structure-
    property relations in solids.
  • models of many technologically important crystal structures are built, and the impact of
    structure on the fundamental mechanisms responsible for many physical properties are discussed.

MATSE 436

Mechanical Properties Of Materials
08.2023 - Current
  • Develop an understanding fundamental relationships between the structure of materials and their mechanical behavior through continuous definitions of stress and strain concepts.
  • Study the deformation mechanisms associated with elastic, plastic, and viscous deformation types.
