Congratulations to our undergraduate researcher Lauren Wewer on winning the best poster award during the ASM Young Members Night Poster Competition
We are very proud of our undergraduate researcher, Lauren Wewer, who just received the best poster award during the the American Society for Metals (ASM) Young Members Night Poster Competition. Lauren worked with us for one year during her senior study after taking Dr. Xiong's thermodynamic course. She performed the MASCRO summer research intern on graded alloy additive manufacturing. During the ASM Young Members Night, she presented her research results generated from the MASCRO summer research internship. The poster was under blind judging. Lauren's poster: Alloy Design by Additive Manufacturing for Power Plants with High Energy Efficiency, is the one outcompeted other students from both Pitt and Carnegie Mellon University in the undergraduate category. Lauren will continue her graduate study in our department for functional materials, and we are sure that she will keep up the good work during her graduate research.
