| Background |
|
Areas of Concentration
|
My group emphasizes electronic ceramics and composites for electrical, electronic, electromechanical applications. Many of the ceramics are ferroelectric perovskites with significant uses in sensors, actuators, and capacitors. Primary efforts are in : proof of principle, aid to industry, new materials development, and waste reduction. Unique aspects of our work involve extreme environments -- to 4K and above 300°C for electronic use and in situ integrated characterization of properties under actual working conditions.
