Dongseok Han

Professor Dongseok Han's research lab specializes in computational materials science and micromechanics, focusing on the microstructure-property relationships in cement-based materials. The lab employs advanced imaging techniques such as micro-CT and nanoindentation, integrated with finite element analysis, to simulate and predict the mechanical behavior of cement paste at the microscale. Key research directions include phase connectivity characterization, particularly anisotropic contiguity, and the development of quantitative stereological methods to link microstructural morphology with mechanical performance. The lab also emphasizes data-driven modeling and virtual material synthesis to accelerate the design of high-performance construction materials.
