During my Introduction to Materials class, MatE 25 S17, I asked students to develop a website showing their top 10 materials and pictures in which they identified different materials.  Here are some examples (pictures are taken from the students’ websites): http://ericsmaterials.blogspot.com https://kaseyleong97.wixsite.com/mysite https://kaseyleong97.wixsite.com/mysite http://ces-materials.blogspot.com http://rohitbhogal.blogspot.com/2017/04/top-10-favorite-materials.html http://sydneygraulmaterials.blogspot.com http://alexandergooyandeh.blogspot.com https://nikooyang.wixsite.com/mysite/single-post/2017/04/24/3-Photos-and-Their-Materials https://wanishanme.wixsite.com/introtomaterials/single-post http://thedancingengineer.blogspot.com Posted 19th June 2017 by […]

Wareable.com interviewed the SJSU VR lab last week. Robert Bruce is the head of the VR lab and he started the lab. I discussed our work on VR and materials engineering.  I believe VR will provide most of the learning environments in the future.  We are currently working on a virtual materials engineering lab to provide […]

Navathej Gobia, Darshan Vijayakumar a, Ozgur Keles a and Folarin Erogbogbo a* http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsomega.6b00517 ABSTRACT: Incorporation of nanoparticles into polymer resins has recently attracted a significant amount of attention from researchers for the nanoparticles ability to alter the properties of the resin. While graphene-based structures possess a 2D honeycomb arrangement of carbon atoms that make them […]

Prof. Ruiping Liu joined our group as a research scientist. She will be doing first principle investigations of bonding between graphene quantum dots and functional groups. Her expertise is density functional theory (DFT).   Posted 23rd March 2017 by Ozgur Keles
