Lab member Zachary Stein has presented a poster on the research he has been conducting this summer as part of his participation in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF), which he was awarded in April. Zac has been studying the effects of sand ingression on thermal barrier coatings and the research presented was on some initial analysis of the experiments conducted at Argonne National Laboratory this July.
Zac (center) presenting his poster “Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction Study of CMAS Ingression in Electron-Beam Physical Vapor Deposition Thermal Barrier Coatings.”
Zac presented at the Summer Research Academy’s “Meet Student Researchers: Poster Showcase.” The Summer Research Academy introduces its participants to academic research and how to get started on conducting research themselves.
