electron microscopy
An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a hi ...
and
crystal plasticity. He assists in overseeing the MicroMechanics group while focusing on the fundamentals of
material deformation. He developed the
HR-EBSD method for mapping stress and
dislocation density at high spatial resolution used at the micron scale in mechanical testing and micro-cantilevers
to extract data on mechanical properties that are relevant to materials engineering.
