Dr. Sant is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and holder of the Edward K. and Linda L. Rice Endowed Chair in materials science. His research is focused on elucidating structure-property relations in inorganic materials including metallic, and non-metallic materials, and specifically understanding how reaction processes are formative, and/or destructive of microstructure. As thrust areas, the research, which spans from "atoms to infrastructure", seeks to: (i) quantify solute-solvent reaction dynamics at interfaces, (ii) monitor, manipulate and mitigate electrochemical corrosion processes and (iii) quantify and simulate coupled mass and ion transport processes in random porous media.
