My interests include structural characterization and quantification of structure-property relationships across multiple length scales; statistical analysis of defects and their interactions in polycrystalline materials; and in developing inverse design principles for optimizing performance in structural and functional materials.

Implications of gnomonic distortion on electron backscatter diffraction and transmission Kikuchi diffraction
Fancher, C. M., Burch, M. J., Patala, S., & Dickey, E. C. (2022, January 4). JOURNAL OF MICROSCOPY, Vol. 1.
Contributors: C. Fancher*, M. Burch n, n & E. Dickey*
author keywords: EBSD; gnomonic distortions; TKD
TL;DR:
Results indicate that the increased gnomonic distortions in electron diffraction patterns for a TKD geometry enhance the sensitivity for detecting subtle differences in interband angles and the utilization of a Hough transform based indexing approach further enhances the sensitivity.

Grain Boundary Plane Orientation Fundamental Zones and Structure-Property Relationships
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 5.
TL;DR:
This work demonstrates how boundary plane orientation fundamental zones, which capture the natural crystallographic symmetries of a grain boundary, can be used to establish structure-property relationships and has the potential to significantly accelerate research in the topologically complex and vast five-dimensional phase space of grain boundaries.
