Congratulations to Raphael and Eric!

August 10, 2017
Undergraduate researchers Raphael Chanut and Eric Bellan have been selected to be a participant in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP). Raphael will utilize electron backscatter diffraction to investigate the post-deformation microstructure of Mg Alloy AZ31B with a specific focus on deformation twinning. Eric’s project will result in the creation of a miniature Omni-magnet for non-contact magnetic manipulation of soft polymers and biological materials.  Congratulations on being selected and on well written UROP proposals.

Welcome Hadi!

Hadi Mirmohammad becomes the newest member to join the research group.  Hadi joins group having recently completed his B.S. at the University of Tehran in Mechanical Engineering. Hadi’s work will focus on the development of SEM-based experimental techniques to study mechanism activity during deformation.
