                     SEM micrograph of FAST sintered Co,Ni,Sb,Te powder at 550C, Kodash et al.

Research Interests Include:

• Electrical Field/Current Activated Sintering - to understand the effects of electrical field application in powder sintering.
• Control of FAST (Field Activated Sintering Technique) process to achieve optimum final properties.
• Sintering of Nanocrystalline Materials with emphasis on biomaterials.
• Processing - Microstructure - Property Relationships to improve the basic knowledge of materials behavior in high-temperature and fatigue conditions (e. g., in nanocomposites).
• Abnormal grain growth in polymorphic materials.
