The Corrosion and Advanced Materials Laboratory, led by Rajeev Gupta, Ph.D., explores fundamental and applied aspects of metallic materials with particular emphasis on corrosion science, surface engineering, and advanced characterization techniques.

Corrosion Initiation and Propagation

Investigating the fundamental mechanisms driving corrosion in metals and alloys to better understand material degradation.

Structure-Processing-Property Relationships

Linking microstructural features and processing conditions with material performance and durability.

Protective Coatings and High-Temperature Oxidation

Developing innovative coatings and alloy compositions to enhance resistance against environmental degradation.
