Grain boundary migration and recrystallization, driven by thermal energy or plastic deformation, are critical processes in microstructure formation during material processing and can significantly influence their evolution under in-service conditions in harsh environments. Through the integration of multi-physics modeling and experimental validation, we strive to develop predictive frameworks that enable the design and optimization of next-generation structural and functional materials with tailored properties.
