Research Overview
I am interested in ceramic processing with a special emphasis on powder and surface characterization and modification. Most of my research is funded directly by industry. Special research areas include coated powders, microemulsion synthesis techniques, controlled porosity, and microwave sintering.
Current and Recent Projects
- Synthesis of Coated Powders for Structural and High-temperature Applications, DuPont - CACT
- Adsorption of Polymers in Mixed Oxide Suspensions and Prediction of Suspension Stability, Cooper Power Ind.
- Microwave Sintering of Alumina and Zirconia, NYSERDA
- Characterization of Magnetic Properties in Granular Materials, Xerox
- Rapid Prototyping, Using a Gelation Process, Matrix
