... His current research explores high-temperature thermal protection systems (thermal barrier coatings, liquid metal heat plates for hyper sonic vehicle leading edges, jet blast deflectors) and new materials for the mitiga tion of high-intensity dynamic loads (ballistic and blast protection materials and structures)

... Dr. Salamanca-Riba's research is in the areas of 3D microstructure characterization using computational methods and data analysis, self-assembly of semiconductor nanowires and liquid crystal nanocomposites for hybrid photovoltaic applications, DNA-based biosensors and radiation sensors on GaAs, materials with high carbon content in the form of nanocarbon called "covetics," and wide bandgap semiconductors for high-power, high-temperature

... Her research interests include examining the chemical modification of polymer surfaces through mass-selected ion-beam deposition, exploring the dynamics associated with the growth of thin films, developing new methodologies for the atomistic simulation of materials, using atomic-scale simulations to study the catalytic behavior of metal clusters, investigating the molecular origin of friction and wear at interfaces, and combining electronic structure and thermodynamic calculations to predict defect formation in metal oxides.
