Dr. Ian McCue, a former post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, has accepted a tenure-track faculty position at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
A new computational framework can predict the behavior of materials known as MAX phases at high temperatures in a fraction of the time compared to other algorithms. These virtually designed materials can then be used to construct heat and corrosion-resistant turbines for jet engines.
Jaskirat Batra has established a unique style of teaching that might revolutionize how engineering courses are taught in classrooms by using virtual reality as an effective way to teach concepts that need to be visualized in 3D.
Materials engineering is an applied field that seeks to design materials with some desired physical properties to serve a particular engineering function.
