Welcome Jack and Mohammed!

The Kingstedt research group expands by adding two new members, PhD student Mohammed Elamin and MS student Jack Varga. Mohammed received his M.S. at the University of Akron completing a thesis dedicating to investigating the impact response of composite panels under cryogenic conditions.  His early work in the group will focus on drop tower experiments of small-scale bone specimens. Jack completed his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers University. He will study the dynamic tensile behavior of additive manufactured metals.

Ronaldo and Tanner Selected for UROP!

Congratulations to undergraduate researchers Ronaldo Herrera and Tanner Snow for being selected for the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) for the Fall semester!  Ronaldo’s project will focus on investigating de-noising, segmentation and thresholding approaches applied to x-ray tomographs. Tanner will investigate the dynamic behavior of surrogate bone material subjected to drop tower loading with high speed imaging.
