Electro-Nano-Pulsing and Grain Boundary Engineering

Nanosecond electrical pulses may offer a route to manipulate grain boundaries and design stronger materials.

Research focus

This project studies whether short, intense electrical pulses can alter grain-boundary structures and open new processing pathways for advanced materials. The work combines multiphysics modeling, nanoscale mechanism hypotheses, and microstructure evidence.
