Lee group rocked the TMS 2019 at San Antonio, TX on March 10~14, 2019!!!

We gave four technical presentations! Thank you for all your hard works!

• Seok-Woo:  “Nanomechanical characterization in cryogenic environments” (Invited Talk)
• Gyuho: “Ultrahigh Elastically Compressible Superconductor, CaKFe₄As₄“
• Tyler: “Mechanical Characterization of Cold Sprayed Aluminum Alloy Powders Using in-situ Micropillar Compression and Tension“
• Jessica: “Ultra-High Strength Above 10GPa and short-range atomic order of amorphous boron“

 

Tyler and Jessica attended the UConn SOE poster competition on 03/15/2019.

Tyler gave a poster presentation entitled “Mechanical Characterization of Cold Sprayed Aluminum Alloy Powders Using in-situ Micropillar Compression and Tension“.

Jessica gave a poster presentation entitled “Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Amorphous Boron“.

Thank you for all your hard works!

 

   

John starts his new position at Collins Aerospace. He will work on additive manufacture of metallic parts in aerospace system. I wish him the best in his future endeavor!

Jessica and Shuyang passed the qualifying exam! Many Congratulations!

John finished his PhD defense successfully. Many Congratulations!

John’s dissertation title is “Mechanical Properties of the Intermetallic Compound CaFe₂As₂at Small Length Scales“.

John will start to work at Collins Aerospace (formerly, UTC Aerospace) from February! He is going to work on additive manufacture of aerospace materials.

Tyler won the third place in the UConn MSE presentation competition! Congratulations!

MSE Graduate Students Show Off Presentations at Grad Student Speaking Contest

 

Lee’s group attended the 2018 MRS meeting at Boston and gave the following presentation.

• Gyuho Song: “Ultrahigh elastically compressible superconductor, CaKFe4As4” – Oral presentation
• Jessica M. Maita: “Ultra-High Strength Above 10GPa and short-range atomic order of amorphous boron” – Poster presentation
• Hetal D. Patel (undergraduate): “The effect of the tip radius on dislocation nucleation in [0 0 1] tungsten single crystal under spherical indentation” – Poster presentation

We also enjoyed playing pool (Shuyang, Tyler vs. Seok-Woo, Jessica, Hetal). Tyler is certainly the best player, but Seok-Woo’s team won!

 

     

Gyuho receives 2019 Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship!

Many Congratulations!

Seok-Woo attended the IMECE 2018 at Pittsburgh, PA to give a presentation at Drucker Medal Symposium and to celebrate Prof. David Barnett’s award winning. Also, I finally was able to take a picture with my PhD advisor (Prof. William D. Nix) and PhD co-advisor (Prof. Wei Cai) for the first time!

Jessica joins our MSE PhD program! Many Congratulations!!!

Jessica joined my group as a master (plan A) student, but got an admission from the PhD program today! (I think she does not feel any big change, but she is now a PhD candidate!!!)

She is working on micro-mechanical properties of amorphous boron and nanocrystalline ceramics.
