Biography

I'm doing research on high-entropy thin films/alloys especially towards mechanical properties, thermal stability and oxidation resistance since my bachelor's thesis and I am currently a PhD student at TU Wien in Vienna, Austria. Recently I got the chance to visit the department of nuclear engineering at UC Berkeley to do investigation towards irradiation resistance of high-entropy ceramics to see if they could be possible candidates for first wall nuclear fusion components. I would like to expand on these studies in with more detailed experiments on different compositions in the future.
