Mechanical properties and processing of ceramics and metals. Current interests include processing and properties of ceramic nanocomposites, the use of carbon nanotubes and graphene in ceramic composites, mechanical testing and stress measurement in ceramics at the microscale, high strain rate performance of ceramics for armour applications, "flash sintering" of ceramics, probing of stress and structure using neutrons and synchrotron radiation, improved metal forming for automobiles and mechanisms of superplastic deformation.
