My current research activity is focused on Bulk metallic glass:

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) possesses high strength hardness and elastic deformation limit and has long been regarded as a potential structural material. Currently my research efforts are most focused on 1) Preparation and Mechanical Properties of Bulk Metallic Glass and its Composites. 2) Bulk and Micro- scale Compressive Properties of Metallic Glasses.
