Raiyan Seede, a doctoral student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, was selected for the 2022 Association of Former Students Distinguished Graduate Student Award for Excellence in Research — Doctoral.
This award will be presented at a ceremony on April 25 at the Rudder Forum and recognizes graduate students from different disciplines across the university. Recipients will be presented with a certificate and a custom engraved gold watch from The Association.
“I am thrilled about being awarded, and so grateful to Dr. (Ibrahim) Karaman, who facilitated the research and guided me throughout my graduate studies,” said Seede. “Our research in metal additive manufacturing has been really gratifying, and I am excited to continue to pursue research in this field at Lawrence Livermore.”
Seede has worked on several projects during his time in the department, including research funded by the Army Research Office, in which he developed a basic understanding of how the process-structure performance relationships in additive manufacturing (AM) change with alloying composition and phase diagram features. He has also characterized the effects of AM on several novel steel alloys, including ultra-high strength steels and lightweight steels.
He is pursuing a doctoral degree under the guidance Karaman, department head and Chevron Professor I in the materials science and engineering department.
