Current Research:
Paul’s work involves developing and applying techniques to test and characterize mechanical behavior at small length scales. Advantages of testing at this scale include the ability to probe localized material properties (i.e. measure the ‘single-crystal’ response of individual grains in a polycrystalline material) and search for intrinsic size effects. Micron-scale mechanical test specimens are fabricated using a dual beam FIB microscope. These specimens are tested either with a nanoindenter or inside an SEM with a piezo based in-situ test rig. Subsequent characterization includes SEM analysis of slip band morphology, dual beam FIB serial sectioning of deformed structures, and TEM defect analysis. Presently, a single-crystal nickel based superalloy used in turbine blade applications is under investigation. Paul has had the opportunity to collaborate with several WPAFB scientists and technicians while conducting this work.

Educational Background:
Paul joined the Ohio State University as a freshman in autumn 2000. He received a BS in Materials Science and Engineering in spring 2005 and is scheduled to receive an MS in autumn 2007. Presently, he is pursuing a PhD degree. Additionally, Paul has worked in the Microstructural Characterization Facility at WPAFB.
