Incoming students interested in SMEE
We are excited to welcome the incoming MatSE graduate class! Students interested in the SMEE research team, particularly our work on carbonaceous build up on structural alloys or metallic thin films, are encouraged to contact Prof. Krogstad.
Congratulations, Nathan!
Congratulations to Nathan on successfully passing both his qualifying exams!
Congratulations, Megan!
Megan Emigh successfully passed her preliminary exam today! Her dissertation proposal was entitled: “Influence of a nanotwinned, nanocrystalline microstructure on aging of a Ni-25Mo-8Cr superalloy.” You can find more details about this project here.
