• Texture evolution during thermomechanical processing of non-heat-treatable aluminium alloys 

• Texture characterization (SEM-EBSD/XRD)

• Crystal plasticity modelling (DAMASK)

• Recrystallization modelling (Cellular Automata)

• Anisotropy & formability

• CALPHAD (thermodynamics & kinetics)

• Sustainable alloy & process design

Current Project

I am developing a through-process simulation framework to predict the evolution of crystallographic texture during hot rolling of non-heat-treatable aluminium alloys. The project couples the DAMASK crystal plasticity framework with a full-field Cellular Automata model of recrystallization, enabling direct links between thermomechanical history, microstructural evolution, and resulting anisotropy. The ultimate goal is to deliver predictive tools that support sustainable alloy and process design, particularly under the challenges posed by increased recycling content.
