Our proposal on the effects of grain boundary segregation spectra on grain boundary-related microstructural features has been awarded by the NSF CAREER program (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/show-award?AWD_ID=2542484). We are grateful for the support from NSF and excited to start the project.

Zayed presented his research on cold spray deposition of Sn-based alloys at the first annual AMI Research Showcase. Great job, Zayed!

Fahim attended the 2026 MRS Spring Meeting in Hawaii and delivered an oral presentation on nanoscale grain boundary precipitation in aluminum alloys. Nice work, Fahim!

Fahim's paper titled "Nanoscale Grain Boundary Precipitation with Unique Interfacial Segregation for Stabilizing Aluminum 5083 Alloy" has been accepted by Materials Letters. We sincerely acknowledge Dr. Chongze Hu's group for their valuable computational contributions. Congrats to the team! 

We had our group lunch at Chow's Country Buffet. A big thank you to all group members for their hard work throughout the semester!

We performed our first atomization run today. We appreciate the grant from AFRL and the help from Dr. Lorena Perez!

Our DEPSCoR proposal on cold spray-based metallization of composites was funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (https://www.war.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/4319001/department-of-war-awards-19m-to-stimulate-academic-research-in-underutilized-st/). Looking forward to the collaboration with Prof. Luke Brewer.
