Research Interests

• Aging and compatibility assessment of materials (energetic materials, polymers, and metals) including experimental methods, and predictive capabilities
• System level modeling of multi-material systems to assess aging and compatibility based on sorption, outgassing, diffusion, and chemical reaction kinetics
• Experimental methods and modeling of chemical reaction kinetics and mechanisms
• Experimental methods to understand and quantify energetic material thermal explosion phenomena
• High pressure burn rate measurements and burn phenomena of energetic material
