Undergraduate Researcher
We welcome Ms. Emily Tom, who has joined our research team as an undergraduate researcher. Emily is senior in materials science and engineering program. She will assist our team in research on zinc- and magnesium-based biodegradable alloys. Read More »Dr. Guillory
Congratulations to Roger Guillory for defending his PhD dissertation entitled “Degradable Zinc Material Characteristics and its Influence on Biocompatibility and in an In Vivo Murine Model” on August 20, 2019. Roger is also leaving us to take a postdoctoral fellow … Read More »Reverse Flotation
Our collaborators from Northeastern University in Shenyang published a new paper on Reverse Flotation of Hematite from Quartz with Magnetic Seeding Aggregation in the Minerals Engineering journal. In this work, fine magnetite was used as a magnetic seed to enhance … Read More » |
Bioabsorbable Stents We search for new biodegradable alloys that could revolutionize cardiovascular stent industry. |
 |
Antibacterial Materials We invented new inexpensive antibacterial material and explore its potential applications in water filtration, food packaging, and many others. |
 |
RHX Ceramic Dating We study the rates of rehydration and rehydroxylation processes for fired clay-based ceramics as a tool for dating ceramic archeological artifacts. |
 |
Smart Surfaces We architecture nanostructures, nanotubes, and molecular layers to control wetting or other properties of surfaces. |
|
Mineral and Materials Processing We have a long tradition of development and testing physical separation technologies for selective recovery of minerals from ores, plastics from waste, and cellulose fibers from wastepaper. |
