Albert Manero, an alumnus of our laboratory, continues to make us proud as he receives the Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship.

The fellowship operates under the Policy and Global Affairs Division of the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine. It provides awardees with the opportunity to spend 12 weeks in Washington, D.C., learning about the role scientists and engineers play in informing national policy. We wish Albert the best of luck in this exciting and empowering opportunity.

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day established by the United Nations to recognize the critical role that women and girls play in science and technology. Our laboratory’s collaboration with the German Aerospace Center is a great example of what can be achieved when women scientists, researchers, and students come together. Last November, the team from UCF gathered with German Aerospace Center (DLR) scientists at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to perform some unique experiments.

The team conducted synchrotron x-ray diffraction on samples of additively manufactured superalloys under thermomechanical loading. To read more about their work, click here. To view photos of past ANL teams, click here.
