Alex Selimov, funded by the ICubed program, works with art students to create prints based on the lab’s work

Alex Selimov presented to and worked with students from Professor Dennis Ahearn’s Advanced Printmaking class in order to create prints based on Piezospectroscopy and Thermal Barrier Coatings. This work was funded by ICubed and will be presented at a showcase during the Spring. ICubed is a NSF funded project whose project goal is to ensure broader impact of NSF funded projects through coordination and integration of the education and research activities of these funded projects by increasing participation in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

Research students volunteered to instruct Solid Mechanics labs

Students conducting research volunteered to teach students taking the lab for solid mechanics about Piezospectroscopy. 3 groups of students were taught over two weeks. They learned about how Piezospectroscopy can be used for both tension and compression. The students who instructed the labs were Imad Hanhan, Alex Bullock, Sanna Siddiqui, Stephen Sofronsky, Pascal Fouquet, Alex Selimov, and Mateo Alvarez.
