Graduate Researcher
Arroyave Group, Texas A&M University
Topics:
– Micro-structure evolution of silicon carbides and other ceramic matrix composites (CMCs)
– Accelerated materials discovery using data-simulated-enabled framework
– Database creation and management of binary and ternary thermodynamic assessments
Current Work:
– Using an informatics-based approach, I look to discover new candidates for intermetallic melt infiltrants with optimal melting ranges and compatibilities with SiC and develop thermodynamic-based methods to discover alloy and process conditions for processing defect-free SiC/SiC composites by melt infiltration.
– Following that, we will then validate and demonstrate infiltrants through rapid infiltration methods.
