DR. TALEFF IS A PROFESSOR IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN.
He specializes in the mechanical behavior and the thermo-mechanical processing of structural materials, with emphasis on processing-microstructure-property relationships. His current research interests include the ductility of Al-Mg alloys at elevated temperatures, including superplasticity and superplastic alloys, and processing-microstructure-property relationships in hypereutectoid steels, particularly for high-strength wire applications.
