There are three areas of current research interest towards which the            principle investigator will use the funds from the NSF Presidential             Young Investigator Award.  These areas can be listed under                      "computational micromechanics of solids" with special emphasis on               novel ceramic, optical and electronic materials.                                The first topic is the study of transformation toughening in ceramic            materials as a mechanism for considerably increasing the fracture               toughness of brittle solids.  The second topic is the study of the              mechanical properties of thin films for optical and electronic                  applications, and the third topic is the generation of defects during           the crystal growth from the melt of shaped crystals for electronic              applications such as gallium arsenide.                                          The three areas listed above include a considerable computational               component.  The computational techniques will be used to correlate              microstructural variables to macroscopic and control parameters.
