Dr. Gregory Kubacki’s research interests focus on the structure-property relationships that affect the corrosion behavior of structural and biomedical alloys processed through advanced fabrication methods, such as laser-based or solid-state additive manufacturing. He is also interested in exploring how local environmental conditions influence passivity and electrochemical processes on metal surfaces to better understand corrosion initiation events and predict long-term performance.
Before joining the MTE department at UA, Kubacki was a post-doctoral research associate in the Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering at the University of Virginia where he focused on atmospheric corrosion of aluminum alloys.
