Graduate Students
Munsu Kim
Ph.D. Student, Materials Science
Munsu is focused on the effect of Mg content on the corrosion and mechanical properties of additively manufactured Al-Mg alloys fabricated by cold gas dynamic spraying (cold spray).
M.Eng., Machine and Materials Engineering, National Korea Maritime and Ocean University, 2019
B. Eng., Marine Mechanics and Energy Systems, National Korea Maritime and Ocean University, 2013
Yoel Emun
Ph.D. Student, Materials Science
Yoel is focused on the effect of processing history and microstructure on the hydrogen uptake, permeation, and trapping performance of a variety of ferrous metals. He is also working to design novel Mg alloys for biomedical applications.
