Nicole Tailleart (Ph.D candidate, MSE) wins first place at the 2007 Tri-service Conference.

The theme of this year's Tri -service conference was "Integrating Corrosion Prevention and Control in Policy, Planning, and Programming." Nicole Tailleart won first place with her poster on multi-functional corrosion properties of pulse thermal sprayed (PTS) Al-Co-Ce Alloys. Taillheart's work on PTS metal coatings is valuable in aerospace applications and corrosion inhibition.

Advised by John Scully, she is part of the CESE group of students who are ever adding to their long list of accomplishments. Again, congratulations to Nicole on finishing in first place.
