Custom design, manufacture, and deployment of new high performance materials for advanced technologies is critically dependent on the availability of invertible, high fidelity, structure-property-processing (SPP) linkages, according to a new book authored by Surya Kalidindi, head of MGI Strategies and Innovation Support Team member at Georgia Tech’s Institute for Materials and professor of Mechanical Engineering.

Caroline Genzale was recently awarded the Army Research Office (ARO) Young Investigator Award, which includes a 3- year grant starting in Fall 2015. Her project, entitled, Spatially and Temporally Resolved Imaging of Primary Breakup in High-Pressure Fuel Sprays, will support the development of a novel high-resolution imaging diagnostic to study the mechanisms of atomization in high-pressure fuel sprays for diesel combustion engines.

The work of two Aerospace Engineering professors with joint appointments in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Wenting Sun and Timothy Lieuwen, has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to receive more than $2 million in combined research and development grants to facilitate the development and demonstration of next-generation gas turbine technology.
