The synthesis of the ternary compound, Ti 3 SiC 2 has been realized by different methods, including combustion synthesis, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, arc melting, hot isostatic pressing, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis ( SHS ), reactive sintering, spark plasma sintering, and mechanical alloying.

He left Martin Marietta in 1990 and obtained an advanced degree in Metallurgy and Materials Sciences at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, where he developed a method to add alumino-silicate fibers to silicon nitride ceramics through a flocculation and sedimentation method, followed by hot isostatic pressing of the pre-forms.
