Personal profile

Research interests

Dr. Saryu Fensin is a recognized authority in the area of dynamic behavior of materials specifically related to metals and alloys. She has contributed to and lead programs within the NNSA and DOD to understand how microstructure controls damage and failure in metals and alloys. Her research has especially focused on the role of heterogeneities and defects on this behavior. Her unique skills are related to coupling both experiments and modeling efforts to not only understand the mechanisms that contribute to damage in metals but also working with modeling collaborators in implementing some of these insights into the current strength and damage models.
