Physics Program Presents
Microstructure Characterization in Metals Processing
Dan Lewis, Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering Department, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Friday, April 10, 2026
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107
12:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
This talk will discuss how we use microstructure to understand the process history and development of properties in metallic alloys. A historical perspective on how we understand the capabilities of ancient civilizations as well as microstructures that evolve from modern manufacturing methods will be presented. The talk will also discuss recent work on Earth materials and additive manufacturing and how image-driven machine learning has been used to try and process large numbers of microstructures.12:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Dan Lewis is a Materials Engineer with an interest in microstructure and materials characterization at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His research focuses primarily on metallurgy and routinely teaches product design and the engineering design process to many different groups of people from high school students to professionals.
