Their work explores microstructure-mechanical properties correlation of additive manufacturing (AM) steels and data-driven model development using machine learning. Key research themes include anisotropic fracture behavior, edge fracture analysis, and computational modeling of advanced high-strength steels.

Recent publications demonstrate trends in combining experimental data with simulations for fracture prediction in metallic materials. Studies focus on laser powder bed fusion, quenching and partitioning steels, and dual-phase steel mechanics.
