Vermaak co-organizes workshop on materials challenges for liquid propellant rocket engines
Recently, MechE Prof. Natasha Vermaak joined forces with The Aerospace Corporation’s Dr. T. Wabel, Dr. F. Bendana, and Prof. Z. Cordero from MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics to host a workshop by invitation only for over 60 leaders in industry, government labs, and academia working at the cutting edge of technologies for reusable liquid-propellant rocket engines (Figure 1).
Materials interfaces: A prime spot for innovation
The smaller the crystals, the bigger the possibilities.
So goes one of the mottos of Fadi Abdeljawad, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University. Abdeljawad joined the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science in August 2023 and has several research initiatives underway to develop theoretical and computational models that explain how materials behave at near atomic scale resolution.
