04/22/2023 HNAM Group Hosts Outdoor BBQ Event for Spring Semester 2023
On a sunny day in spring, HNAM Group hosted an outdoor BBQ event for the new semester. The event was attended by members of the group, as well as collaborators and friends. Everyone gathered together to enjoy the warm weather and delicious food.
The event was a great opportunity for everyone to socialize and strengthen their connections. People brought their own food and drinks to share, and there was a wide variety of tasty treats to choose from.
04/20/2023 Dr. Li and HNAM lab students, Yun Li (ME PhD), Kathyrn Feddish (CBE FR), and Tray Willams (ME FR), organized a STEM activity: “3D Printing“ at Norristown Public Library, PA. The event was able to introduce the three 3D printing technologies used in HNAM lab, present real samples obtained from different technologies, and demonstrated real 3D printing process on site.
03/31/2023 Aidan Flynn (ME Senior) and Yun Li (ME PhD), two researchers, have been awarded a Small Research Grant for their project "In-situ Observation of Sintering Process for 3D Printed Ceramics." The project aims to improve the understanding of the sintering process for 3D printed ceramics by observing it in real-time, using specialized equipment. The researchers hope their findings will help advance the field of 3D printing and enable the production of stronger, more durable ceramics. Congratulations to Aidan and Yun on their well-deserved award!
