Ryan B. Sills

Ryan is a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering and is supported by Sandia National Laboratories. His research is on dislocation dynamics and work hardening in face-centered cubic metals. He is currently working to develop efficient time integration schemes for three-dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations and models for simulating solid solution strengthening.
