<p>Stebner with Students in the AMPF at GT.</p>
1. What is your field of expertise and at what point in your life did you first become interested in this area? I work at the intersection of mechanics, metallurgy, machine learning, and manufacturing. I became interested in engineering as a small…
<p>Eric Vogel, executive director of Georgia Tech's Institute of Materials</p>
Meet Eric Vogel, executive director of the Institute for Materials (IMat) at Georgia Tech. IMat is one of Georgia Tech's 10 interdisciplinary research institutes (IRIs) within the Georgia Tech Research enterprise. What is your field of…

The petrol industry recognizes the importance of para-xylene, given its many uses in everyday products, from plastic soda bottles to polyester fiber. The challenge is that xylenes travel in threes and are virtually identical, making it extremely…
<p>Demonstration of a new strain-isolated, wearable soft bioelectronic system from the lab of W. Hong Yeo, Associate Professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering &amp; PI of the Yeo Group &amp; Director of Center for HCIE and partners at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Emory University. The new system reduces motion artifacts in wearable ECG and biosensors caused by patient movement.</p>
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease and its effects is the leading cause of death in the U.S. across a majority of racial and ethnic groups. Globally, the risk factors for developing heart disease, such as…
<p>Matt McDowell | Associate Professor; George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Materials Science &amp; Engineering</p>
1. What is your field of expertise and at what point in your life did you first become interested in this area? My research group at Georgia Tech works on materials for energy storage, such as batteries. I was originally drawn to materials for…
<p><strong>Blair K. Brettmann: Assistant Professor &amp; Solvay Faculty Fellow, Co-Director; Georgia Tech Polymer Network, School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering &amp; School of Materials Science and Engineering</strong></p>
1. What is your field of expertise and at what point in your life did you first become interested in this area? Polymers. I worked with polymers in my PhD, but only used them as carrier materials and never dug deeper into the science or their…
<p>Researcher Xiaojian Bai and his colleagues used neutrons at ORNL’s Spallation Neutron Source to discover hidden quantum fluctuations in a rather simple iron-iodide material discovered in 1929. The research suggests many similar magnetic materials could have quantum properties that are waiting to be discovered. (Credit: ORNL/Genevieve Martin)</p>
This story by Jeremy Rumsey first appeared on Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Neutron Sciences Advanced materials with more novel properties are almost always developed by adding more elements to the list of ingredients. But quantum research…
<p>History of PRC &amp; Rao Tummala, Professor Emeritus</p>
When Rammohana Rao Tummala, the son of a farmer, left his village in Andhra Pradesh for engineering school, he knew he was a first. The first in his family to achieve higher education, attending Andhra Loyola College in Vijayawada, then the top…
