Longtime University of Iowa professor David "Hosin" Lee, who is native of South Korea, is scheduled to be honored for his "outstanding contribution" as part of the United States-Korea Conference: Sustainable Development & The Future in December.
Collaboration among University of Iowa experts in engineering, computer modeling, and physics is advancing understanding of what is possible in the next generation of optoelectronic devices, such as high-performance computers, sensors, and photovoltaic cells.
Levi Kirby, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and a graduate research assistant for the University of Iowa Technology Institute, has received the E. Wayne Kay Graduate Scholarship from the Society for Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
The size and shape of the small grains that comprise all metals have a direct effect on the properties and performance of metal parts. The grain structure forms when the molten metal is poured into a mold and solidifies. A research team, led by Christoph Beckermann, University of Iowa Foundation Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and an Iowa Technology Institute faculty affiliate, will compare metal samples that have been solidified in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station against similar samples formed on Earth.
