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!

Tyler gave a poster presentation at CSAT 2017 about his work on micro-compression and micro-tension on cold sprayed Al 6061 powders. (Northeastern University, MA, 06/15/2017)

The title of his poster was “Mechanical Characterization of Cold-Sprayed Aluminum Alloy Powders Via In-situ Micropillar Compression and Tension.”

 

Keara Frawley and John Lacy (Mech Eng, Northeastern University) join our lab for summer research.

They are going to study ‘Nanoindentation on superelastic materials and nanocrystalline ceramics.’

Keara Frawley is UConn MSE senior undergraduate student.

John Lacy is from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northeastern University. He works as a part of a NSF-REU program.

Seok-Woo gave an invited talk at Brookhaven National Lab on May. 17, 2017.

The title of presentation was “A new-type of superelastic and shape memory material: ThCr2Si2-structurd intermetallic compounds.”

Seok-Woo gave two presentations at MRS 2017 Spring Meeting at Phoenix, AZ on April 19, 2017.

(1) A new-type of superelastic and shape memory material: ThCr2Si2-structurd intermetallic compounds

(2) Ultra-high elastic energy storage material; sequentially infiltrated SU-8 negative photoresist nanocomposites
