_______ News around MCEE for 2011 _______ We are always looking for motivated and responsible students to pursue Ph.D. (and M.S.) in Materials Science and Engineering with research assistantship !!! We welcome Ms. Mian Fu (Ph.D.) and Catherine Kammerer (Ph.D) who will work on high temperature materials/coatings and Al/Mg metal matrix composites, respectively for their research. Dr. Sohn has been elected as an Associate Editor for Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion, a journal published by Springer. Congratulations to Ms. Catalina Uribe and Miss Carmen Bargraser for successfully defending their M.S. defenses in October, 2011. Catalina has joined Mitsubishi Power Systems (Orlando,FL) and Carmen has joined Siemens Power Generation (Orlando, FL). Best wishes for their careers. Dr. Bo Yao, who worked with us as a post-doctoral research scientist for the past 3.5 years will be leaving (late-July, 2011) to work for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Richland, WA). We congratulate him on this move, wish him the best and look forward to continued collaboration! Congratulations to Miss Sarah Brennan and Miss Sriparna Mukherjee for successfully defending their M.S. defenses in June, 2011. Sarah will be joining (August, 2011) the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD) while Sriparna will be moving to Nebraska due to relocation of her husband and looking for proper opportunities. Dr. Sohn's papers have now been cited more than 1,000 times as of June 2011. Officially a “citation star.” Welcome to Miss Sarah Harary, a summer research assistant from University of Washington at Saint Louis. Congratulations to Mr. Joseph Hamilton on receiving “Honorable Mention” at the UCF's Undergraduate Research Showcase! Congratulations to Miss Ashley Ewh for winning the UCF's Founders Day Award and graduating with Summa Cum Lade. Thank heavens she is staying for MS! Congratulations to (now), Dr. Emmauel Perez for successfully defending his Ph.D. Dissertation on February 11, 2011, and Dr. Balaji Jayaraj for successfully defending his Ph.D. Dissertation on February 21, 2011. Both well deserved !!! Balaji will be working for Mitsubishi-USA (Orlando, FL) immediately while Manny will be working for Idaho National Laboratory, US Department of Energy (Idaho Falls, ID) starting August, 2011. Congratulations to Miss Ashley Ewh for being inducted to Order of Pegasus, a highest honor for graduating student at UCF. I hope she invites us to the exclusive (and elusive) lounge dedicated for members of Order of Pegasus. Dr. Sohn has been invited to give an Invited Presentation at the TMS 2011 (February 27-March 3, San Diego, CA) during Hume-Rothery Symposium on Thermodynamics and Diffusion Coupling in Alloys in Honor of Prof. John Agren. Dr. Sohn was invited as a member of International Scientific Committee for 8th International Conference on Diffusion in Materials (DIMAT-2011) to be held in Dijon, France, from June 3 to 8, 2011. Congratulations to Travis Patterson (MS) who joined Mitsubishi Power Systems USA, Orlando, FL, USA. We welcome Mr. Le Zhou (Ph.D.) student who will work on Algal-Fuel Compatibility of Thermal Barrier Coatings and Miss Clara Hofmeister, MS student who will work on nanograin growth in trimodal Al metal matrix composites.
