Computational Materials Science Lab

Texas A&M University College of Engineering

Sean Gibbons

About me:  I am currently a PhD student in Materials Science and Engineering Program in the Mechanical Engineering Department here at Texas A&M University.
 

Interests: The application of computational methods to evaluate complex data sets for simulation initialization and to develop holistic materials science and engineering focused models; use atomistic scale information to tailor continuum level phase-field-models to timely and accurately simulate microstructural evolution for a given system, that can in-turn be used to drive experimental research and process and design cycles.
