R. H. Wagoner

This researcher studies how metals and metal alloys deform and yield at the microscopic level, focusing on features like dislocations (tiny defects in crystal structure that let metals bend and stretch), grain boundaries (interfaces between crystal regions), and how these interact to control strength and plasticity. The work combines simulation methods (atomistic and computational modeling) with experimental imaging techniques such as electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to characterize material microstructure, and also extends to practical applications like metal forming processes used in manufacturing.

Publication output was higher around 2017 but has slowed to roughly 1-2 papers per year over the past five years.
