ELHAM MIRKOOHI, PHD
BRANDEN KAPPES, PHD
Dr. Kappes has been at Colorado School of Mines since January 2004 and joined the faculty as a Research Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering in 2012. He has co-directed the ADAPT Center with Aaron Stebner since its inception in January 2016. Research in the ADAPT lab applies advanced and high-throughput materials characterization and materials informatics to additive manufacturing. The […]
GARRISON HOMMER, PHD
RESEARCH FOCUS Garrison’s research interests lie in the experimental study of multiscale and multiaxial behaviors in structural alloys. These behaviors include phenomena such as asymmetry and anisotropy, and experimental study focuses on how they can give rise to stress and strain path dependence. Macroscopically, these phenomena can be seen as stress-strain curve dependence on loading […]
BEHNAM AMIN-AHMADI, PHD
RESEARCH FOCUS Behnam’s research is focused mainly on the development and engineering of new biomedical shape memory alloys for additive manufacturing (3D printing) production. Conventional NiTi shape memory alloys need prior cold work to achieve the proper superelastic behavior. New NiTiHf alloys, by contrast, reach high strength and good superelasticity through the formation of so-called “H-phase” precipitates without […]
