“Zoom in.” “A little more.” “What evidence do you see in the surface appearance that you can use to determine if it is a brittle or ductile failure?” MSE Professor Nancy Ruzycki, Ph.D., can be heard coaching two students who are working at the Scanning Electron Microscope while other students prepare samples, examine material structures […]

Erin Jackson has a new material in her life: ice. The 2015 University of Florida Materials Science and Engineering alumna traded her inline skates for ice skates and, even to her surprise, made the United States Olympic speed skating team in January 2018. Jackson is a Cinderella story. An inline skater for 15 years and […]

Materials Science and Engineering welcomed three new professors for the 2017-2018 academic year with research in computation, nuclear fuels and optical sensing

Erin Jackson has a new material in her life: ice. The 2015 University of Florida Materials Science & Engineering alumna traded her inline skates for ice skates just four months ago. Now, she is competing in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Sunday as a member of Team U.S.A. in Olympic long-track speedskating. She finished third in […]

Professor Brennan is being honored for his inventions that led to the Sharklet microtopography which was inspired by biomimicry.

Andrew, an associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and her team received a $1.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation to study scalable and high-performance magnetic materials that can be implemented into modern-day devices that would take up less space.  

NASA is collaborating with the University of Florida’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering for its RadSat project. The lab lead by Department Chair Michele Manuel developed a lightweight magnesium alloy.

The American Nuclear Society has appointed Leigh Winfrey, Ph.D., Fusion Science and Technology editor. Winfrey is an associate professor in the Nuclear Engineering Program within the Department of Materials Science & Engineering. Her research focuses on fusion, particularly designing plasma-facing materials for the insides of tokamak fusion reactors (magnetic bottles) that can handle disruptions similar […]

ASM International, a professional organization for materials scientists and engineers, has announced that its Board of Trustees has elected Michele Manuel, Ph.D., to become an ASM Fellow, citing her “outstanding leadership and technical contributions in thermodynamics-based alloy design and its associated methods as applied to light metals.” The honor will be conferred at the ASM […]
