PhD candidate, Yash Pachaury has successfully completed his PhD under the guidance of Professor Anter El-Azab. His research focused on understanding the effects of composition modulations on the mechanical behavior of inhomogeneous alloys. During his time at Purdue, he developed computational tools based on stochastic analysis of experimental data and discrete dislocation dynamics to investigate single crystal plasticity in inhomogeneous FeCrAl alloys where composition modulations are a manifestation of subjecting the alloys to neutron irradiation.
