Matt and Lin on their first day at Glenn.

Lab members Matt Northam and Lin Rossmann are spending two weeks at NASA Glenn Research Center to manufacture and characterize samples. They are collaborating with Dr. Bryan Harder of NASA Glenn, investigating a new method of depositing thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for turbine engines.

Matt spot-welds samples to a mounting plate for coating. Lin grit-blasts the plate clean after a round of coating.

Matt and Lin are learning many skills, including spot welding, grit blasting, and using characterization techniques such as powder x-ray diffraction and profilometry. They have been given tours of other facilities at Glenn and are learning about life as an experimental scientist at a NASA research center.

Dr. Raghavan poses with Matt and Lin in front of a Shuttle/Centaur G-Prime upper stage rocket engine on display at Glenn. Dr. Raghavan joined the students for three days of their trip.

NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field is one of ten major NASA field centers; its primary mission is to develop science and technology for aerospace applications.
