Nutth Tuchinda

Assistant Professor, Chemical & Materials Engineering
About Me
My group (Imperfection Engineering Group or IEG) focuses on defects in crystalline materials such as grain boundaries, triple lines and dislocations. Our research interests also span the area of defect interactions within polycrystalline ensembles. We aim to build fundamental frameworks that study and apply atomistic building blocks for materials design and incorporate them with CALPHAD for designing novel engineering materials via system design approaches.
Education
