His research interests encompass advanced processing and characterization of materials, with emphasis on investigating the mechanisms of micro/nanostructure evolution and its influence on properties. Specific areas of research include spark plasma sintering of nanostructured materials, laser micromachining of materials, laser surface modifications of ceramics and laser cladding of amorphous/composite coatings.
