Keith, John and Seok-Woo attended the ECI “Nanomechanical testing in materials research and development IV” at Croatia.

Keith gave a poster presentation entitled “Ultra-high Elastic Strain Energy Storage in Hybrid Metal-oxide Infiltrated Polymer Nanocomposites.”

John gave a poster presentation entitled “Superelasticity and micaceous plasticity of the novel intermetallic compound CaFe2As2 at small length scales.”

Seok-Woo gave an oral presentation entitled “A new type of superelastic and shape memory materials: ThCr2Si2-structured novel intermetallic compounds at small length scales.”

Graduate Student Turns Early Interest Into a Career in MSE

 

Jessica received NSF LSAMP-BD (Bridge to Doctorate) fellowship! Many congratulations!

Her funding supports her research on mechanical behavior of amorphous boron. This material is highly interesting in that it is a monatomic metallic glass, which is extremely rare. We expect dynamic structural change of this metastable (barely unstable) material under significant mechanical deformation at the micrometer scale.

Program information is available below.

Jessica Maita joined our research group. Welcome!

She is going to study crystallization kinetics and micro-mechanical behavior of amorphous boron! How exciting!

MSE e-Bulletin 2017 is now available online, and our research is highlighted as the first news!

John Lacy (Sophomore, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Northeastern University) successfully finished his NSF-REU program at our research laboratory. He studied nanoindentation properties of nanocrystalline ceramics as a collaborative work with US Naval Research Laboratory. I really appreciate his great contributions he made in this summer!

John and Gyuho attended 2017 Gordon Research Conference – Physical Metallurgy.

John gave a poster presentation entitled “Superelastic and Micaceous Deformation in Novel Interemtallic Compound CaFe2As2 at Small Length Scales.”

Gyuho gave a poster presentation entitled “Molecular Dynamics Study on Temperature-Dependent Screw Dislocation Behavior in BCC Metal Nanopillars.”

Tyler and Seok-Woo attended 2017 SES Meeting at Northeastern Universtiy, MA (July, 25-28).

Tyler gave a presentation entitled “Mechanical Characterization of Cold-Sprayed Aluminum Alloy Particles via Micropillar Compression”

John’s research was highlighted at the MSE department news!
