This researcher studies how metals solidify and transform during manufacturing processes such as aluminum casting and metal 3D printing (additive manufacturing), using computer simulations to predict things like defects, microstructure, and material composition changes. A recurring focus is on quantifying uncertainty in these simulations—that is, understanding how unreliable input data affects the accuracy of model predictions. This work is relevant to improving the reliability and quality of cast and additively manufactured metal alloys, especially aluminum-based ones.
