Professional Background

Harry is currently working to create and process materials for extreme environments. He has a background in sintering, ceramic processing, synchrotron characterization and energy storage. His materials research focuses on synthesis, sintering, and structure-property characterization of materials fabricated via advanced manufacturing methods, including gel-casting, negative additive manufacturing, SLA and FDM printing, spark plasma sintering, and near-net shaped hot pressing.

Research Interests

• Synthesis and consolidation of high-temperature materials
• Synchrotron characterization of in situ processes and operando devices
• Advanced manufacturing methods for complex and near net shaping
• Energy storage and green manufacturing
