Research Interests

I am interested in modeling and numerical simulation in the field of material science. During my Ph.D., my works were devoted to the molecular dynamics simulations of surface roughness formation and to the oxidation of pure nanocrystalline aluminum samples. Then, I have tried the experimental side of material science by achieving a vacuum experimental device with isotopic labeling for characterization of powders belonging to a new type of fuel cells. Finally, I want to combine as much as possible the simulation and experimental results, in general, to understand phase transformations in different kind of materials. Thus, I am currently interested in the development of thermodynamic and kinetic databases (CALPHAD method) for actinide alloys.
