Gustavo M. Castelluccio

Dr. Gustavo M. Castelluccio (ORCID) is a Reader (Associate Professor) in Mesoscale Mechanics at Cranfield University. With a PhD from Georgia Institute of Technology and prior experience at Sandia National Laboratories, his work bridges microstructural mechanics with macroscopic mechanical behavior through physics-based modeling.

• Current research targets fatigue and fracture in engineering components, integrating microstructural attributes with reliability assessments
• Specializes in hydrogen-sensitive deformation, dislocation substructure modeling, and computational micromechanics

Recent publications (2025-2022) demonstrate expertise in:

• Hydrogen diffusion-crystal plasticity coupling for crack tip analysis
• Material-invariant parameterization across FCC metals (Cu, Ni, Al)
• Overload fatigue response prediction without recalibration
• Abnormal grain growth mechanisms in ultrafine-grained systems

His studentship opportunities focus on multiscale predictive approaches and corrosion-sensitive fatigue modeling.
