Pollock focusing on the development of 3D characterizationtechniques and their application for imaging of structural materials. Other research includes femtosecondlaser-material interactions and the quantification of damage in polymers, metals, ceramics, and composite structures.Scientific techniques used in these projects include: atomic force microscopy, laser profilometry, scanningelectron microscopy with EDS and EBSD analysis, focused ion milling, and the development of a new TriBeamsystem (exploiting electrons, ions and photons) for 3-dimensional data acquisition.University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MIPh.D. student September 2005 – August 2011Scientific research on the 3-dimensional characterization of steel alloys and toughness modeling supervised byProfessor Tresa M. Pollock. This research involved the development of a femtosecond laser-based serial sectioningtechnique for the 3D characterization of multiphase materials. Scientific techniques used during this researchinclude atomic force microscopy, profilometry, scanning electron microscopy with EDS analysis, femtosecondlaser induced breakdown spectroscopy, development of image segmentation routines, and 3-dimensional datasetreconstruction.University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MIMS Eng. student September 2005 – March 2010Scientific research supervised by Tresa M.
