2024 MTRL Research Day Recap

The Materials Engineering Department recently hosted a research showcase day on February 21st, 2024, to present a variety of research efforts within the department. The event served as a platform for faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, current and prospective students to explore a wide range of research activities and collaborative ventures. The showcase delivered 14 presentations and 7 poster sessions, featuring exciting materials research topics such as materials processing and characterization, hydrometallurgy, metallurgy, biomaterials, corrosion, polymers, modeling and simulation, sustainability, and electrochemistry. The day concluded with an awards ceremony honoring outstanding achievements within the graduate student community. We aim to organize similar events regularly, which not only fosters continuous learning opportunities, but also advances diverse collaborations within the academic community.

A huge congratulations to 2022 & 2023 graduate awards winners!
