3/23 MME Seminar: Dr. Jessica Krogstad, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Department / Organization: MT
Dr. Krogstad will present, "Extreme Environments and Dynamic Morphology: Anticipating and harnessing evolving structure-property relationships" this Thursday. Beverages, fruit and cookies provided!
Jessica A. Krogstad is an assistant professor in the Department of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She received her PhD in Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara working with Prof. Carlos G. Levi in 2012. Her doctoral work examined phase evolution and structural stability in zirconia-based thermal barrier coatings. Between 2012 and 2014, she held a postdoctoral appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Kevin J. Hemker. There she focused on the investigation of high temperature metallic systems for MEMS applications and high temperature micro-mechanical testing for experimental validation of multi-scale damage models of superalloy and composite materials in the spirit of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME). Her current research explores the interplay between phase or morphological evolution and material functionality in structural materials under extreme conditions. She is the recipient of the DOE Early Career Award, the NSF CAREER Award and the TMS Young Leaders Award.
