Materials at Extremes

Materials at Extremes (MATX)

Materials at Extremes (MATX) is focused on the advanced manufacturing, mechanical testing, and theoretical mechanics of materials subject to extreme environments.

The goals of MATX are to:

  • Leverage Advanced Manufacturing technologies to discover new materials suitable for extreme environments.

  • Develop Unique Testing Methods that accelerate the qualification of new materials and replicate the extreme environments observed in service.

  • Derive New Theoretical Models that leverage modern tools (mathematics, probabilistics, machine learning/AI, etc.) to capture the key phenomena observed in materials and enable the prediction of constitutive behaviour, damage evolution, and life at extremes.

Accordions

MATX has multiple openings for undergraduate and graduate students.

We are seeking students with a track record of applying themselves outside of the classroom including participation in internships, research experiences, publications, STEM organizations, and/or scholarships/awards.

We strongly encourage candidates of all backgrounds, abilities, and identities to apply.

Only students who have already applied to the Ohio State University will be considered.

Please email Dr. Stewart (stewart.2264@osu.edu) with a brief introduction and your CV/resume to learn more.
