Matter matters: Materials for Advanced Manufacturing

Everything that is made for a specific, engineered purpose is manufactured from one or more materials. The performance of the part or device depends strongly on the choice of material and its properties. The properties themselves depend on both the composition and on the microstructure of the material, which in turn depends on the processing that was applied. Many of the faculty in MSE are contributing to advances in microstructure control, characterization methods, materials processing, and advanced manufacturing. These efforts find application in essentially all types of materials.  Professor Holm will talk about her materials research and its application to advanced manufacturing.
