Stephen R. Niezgoda's research focuses on understanding and predicting how the internal structure of metals (their 'microstructure') changes during processing and affects their mechanical properties. His recent work combines traditional materials science methods like crystal plasticity modeling with modern computational tools, including machine learning and GPU-accelerated simulations, to model and predict how metals deform and evolve at the microscopic scale. This work has applications ranging from understanding aluminum alloys to designing medical implants.
