Sonal Padalkar: Studying materials systems with microscopy and engineering
A fascination for microscopes from an early age led Sonal Padalkar, a new assistant professor in mechanical engineering at Iowa State, to develop an affinity for problem solving using microscopic techniques. Sonal Padalkar grew up looking through the lens of a microscope, seeing new worlds of changing colors and patterns. The experience, she says, gave …Continue reading “Sonal Padalkar: Studying materials systems with microscopy and engineering”
Professor Richard LeSar – Article Featured in MRS Bulletin
Dr. Richard LeSar, MSE Professor, had an article featured in the April 2012 MRS Bulletin Special Issue. The article, entitled “Teaching Sustainable Development in Materials Science and Engineering,” discusses three materials sustainability programs designed by the authors that are being implemented in the U.S. and the different approaches each program takes. The hope for these …Continue reading “Professor Richard LeSar – Article Featured in MRS Bulletin”
Vote for Iowa State engineers in America’s Next Top Energy Innovator Challenge
MSE graduates and postdoc research associates Joel Rieken and Andy Heidloff are competing in the Department of Energy’s America’s Next Top Energy Innovator Challenge. The duo started the company Iowa Power Atomization Technologies (IPAT) to bring titanium powder, a substance that can be used in military, biomedical, and aerospace applications, to market. Their technology uses a …Continue reading “Vote for Iowa State engineers in America’s Next Top Energy Innovator Challenge”
