Openings

Current:

There are three projects with openings for graduate student researchers or post-doctoral researchers (the sponsors are listed in the parentheses):

1.Surface characterization of engineered components (roughness and cleanliness) (Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing)

2. Laser surface cleaning and modification (Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing)

3. Non-equilibrium processing of Mg alloys (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

Potential Future Projects:

Six other projects MAY be available soon, pending immanent sponsor decisions. Check back frequently.

1. The role of twinning in damage initiation and failure in Mg alloys (U.S. National Science Foundation)

2. Using heat treatment to control the high strain rate deformation behavior of high strength Al and Mg alloys (U.S. Army Research Office)

3. Using electromagnetic acoustic transducers during casting of Al matrix nanocomposites for high voltage transmission lines (U.S. Department of Energy)

4. Non-destructive characterization of metal components using ultrasound and radiography (private company).

5. Non-destructive sensor development for detection of aluminum alloy sensitization (private company).
