Allison Beese

Affiliate Researcher
Titles and Affiliations
Professor, Materials Science and Engineering

Professor Beese’s research interests are in experimental and computational multiscale mechanics of materials, with an emphasis on metallic materials. Her research focuses on developing experimental methods to elucidate the connections among the microstructure, macroscopic deformation, damage accumulation, and failure properties of materials. Her group uses experimental data to develop and validate physically-based plasticity and fracture models that can be used to predict and prevent component performance.
