Professor Peralta joined Arizona State University’s School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy in 1998 and received the National Science Foundation (NSF) Early Career Award in 2000 and the Senior Orr Award for best paper in fatigue and fracture from the ASME Materials Division in 2004. His research focuses on mechanics of materials, fatigue and fracture of metallic alloys, dynamic and shock loading of metallic and intermetallic materials with emphasis on effects of anisotropy and grain boundaries on mechanical behavior and failure.
