Nathan Linton can predict properties of novel material systems in a matter of seconds
Conventional alloys mainly consist of one principal element with minor property modifications made by adding relatively small proportions of other elements. While as many as a dozen additional elements may be included in conventional alloys, one base element possesses the majority atom fraction in the material. Multi-principal element alloys or MPEAs consist of several base […]
Note from the Chair
Dear alumni and colleagues, The future for advanced materials is bright at Clemson with recent board of trustee approval for Phase 2 of the Advanced Materials Innovation Complex (AMIC). AMIC is scheduled to break ground next year and will serve as the new home of the MSE department. In addition to this important infrastructure project, […]
MSE Halloween Shenanigans
MSE students, faculty and staff Participated in a team building Halloween scavenger hunt. Teams braved the rain and had lots of fun! The Glass Goblins won the event and each received a $25 gift card and of course bragging rights. Here are a few pictures of the teams on the hunt.
Bailey Meehan is doing his part to improve the efficiency of optical fibers
Fiber lasers are lasers which use optical fibers to amplify the power of light, in the form of a light beam. Due to their high power, small form-factor, low weight, high beam quality and robust construction, fiber lasers are the fastest growing segment of the laser market. Bailey Meehan, who is a third year PhD […]
Summer 2022 – What I Did This Summer
Many MSE students spend the summers on internships. This past summer, MSE rising junior Annika DeVol and MSE grad student Zachary Caprow were selected for internships at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge Tennessee. Here’s how they spent their summer: Annika DeVol: “This summer, I had the opportunity to participate in the Science Undergraduate […]
