My research primarily focuses on investigating new deformation properties resulting in situ micropillar compression experiments. In the case of metals and metallic alloys, plastic deformation typically occurs through the cooperative movement of dislocations, twinning, or crack formation and propagation. My studies aim to deepen the understanding of the dynamics of these mechanisms. In addition to single and polycrystalline materials, my research also extends to metallic glasses, thin films, and high-entropy alloys.

The phenomenon of acoustic emission has been known for a long time and is widely used in industry as a non-destructive testing method. This cost-effective structural testing method currently relies mostly on empirical foundations, but its applicability for research purposes has recently come to light. Our research group has demonstrated the connection between acoustic emission and dislocation avalanches, making it possible to study this phenomenon using an additional effective method. In my research, I focus on analyzing the acoustic signals of various deformation mechanisms and identifying these mechanisms based on the acoustic signals.
