Two UT students presented their research on (1) Kaustubh Mungale on magnesium-carbon fiber composite bonding; and (2) Benjamin Schwartz on bio-composites manufacturing and characterization.
UT was selected as a finalist under the Infinite Market Growth category for the ACE awards (Advancing Composites Excellence) for its work on modular energy-efficient cladding panels. Carbon Rivers, a start-up in wind blade recycling in Knoxville, TN, won an ACE award for glass fiber recycling. Our student, Warren Smith, works with Carbon Rivers for his research and was an integral contributor. Congratulations to the team!
