Postdoctoral Fellow, Johns Hopkins University

· Fabricated Al/Ni nanoscale multilayer foils using a magnetron sputtering system

· Characterized self-propagating reactions of Al/Ni multilayer foils

· Joined materials using Al/Ni reactive multilayer foils as heat sources, characterized the mechanical properties and microstructures of the joints, and studied the thermal transfer during joining process
