Primary research interests are the relationship between microstructure and properties of materials, with special emphasis on transmission electron microscopy techniques which make it possible to the study the structure and chemistry of materials down to atomic dimensions. Through a detailed analysis and characterization of crystalline defects such as dislocations and grain boundaries, Prof. Mills and his group are developing improved, fundamental insights into the mechanical behavior of several important metallurgical systems. His present research programs include studies of creep and deformation in commercial titanium alloys, strengthening mechanisms in aluminum alloys and dislocation processes in nickel-based superalloys.
