A SYCL based Multi-Phase-Field solver for large scale microstructure simulations.

• We developed a finite-difference solver of the Kim-Kim-Suzuki model in C++ and integrated it with SYCL, MPI and OneAPI libraries. A parabolic approximation of free energy function allows the solver to be coupled with an open-source or encrypted database like ThermoCalc or Pandat.

An OpenCL based Phase-Field solver of basic microstructure evolution phenomenon.

• We Developed OpenCL based codes for finite-difference simulations of Spinodal Decomposition and Dendritic Solidification and did parametric studies on the effect of undercooling, boundary conditions, anisotropy and other parameters on the microstructure.

Synthesis and characterization of the FeMnCoCrCu High Entropy Alloy.

• Casted multiple Cu varying alloy compositions in the Vacuum Induction Furnace & performed solutionizing treatments. Used X-Ray Diffraction and Optical Microscopy to calculate grain size and morphology and identify precipitates formed. Further attempted to precipitate Cu clusters via heat treatments for improving its strength.

Atom Probe Tomography (APT) Data Analysis for feature detection in a MAX Phase

Young Research Fellowship (YRF) 2020 Project

• Identified solute segregation by reconstructing the mass spectrum and raw APT data of a Cr₂Al(Si)C MAX Phase. Investigated methods of feature detection for efficient identification of interfaces and clusters in APT data.
