We have been interested in dynamics of phase transformation, crystal growth and interface dynamics of semiconductors, metals and polymers. This research includes theoretical studies based on reaction-diffusion equations and microscale and mesoscale computer simulations. We have done computer simulations of interface migration, kinetics of phase separation and overall kinetics of phase transformation based on a discrete model, a continuum model and thermodynamics. We now doing a research on a multiscale model for microstructural evolution in materials with combination of the above models. We have a plan of doing theoretical studied on relationship between the discrete model and the continuum model. Our future plan includes a moving boundary problem associate with phase transformation.
