Junfang Lu graduated in 2009. Her research was about
quantitative microstructural characterization of microalloyed steels.She recieved her B.Eng. and M.Eng. in Welding and Materials Science and
Engineering in China.
Amanda Schneck was a Materials Engineering Biomedical Co-op student at the University of Alberta who will be entering her fourth year of a five
year undergraduate program this September. Upon the completion of her undergraduate
degree in 2011, Amanda hopes to pursue graduate studies in biomedical applications of
materials science. Amanda competes as a member of the Panda's Track and Field team here
at the U of A and is avidly involved in the Engineering Students' Society and Materials
Engineering Technical Society as well.
Alex was a student of process engineering from the University of Bremen in Germany. Here at the AMPL Alex is responsible for the optimization of the impulse atomization process to generate aluminum silicon powder.
Additionally he was in charge for the development of a similar process to produce magnesium granules.
During his six month stay in Canada he explore the country as much as possible beside the work. He enjoys hiking and a lot of other sports like running, motocross, snowboarding and soccer.
Hulya receieved her BS. Degree in Ceramic Engineering from Dumlupinar University and MSc. degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Mersin University, Turkey. She is currently a PhD student and research assistant in Metallurgıcal and Materials Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (I.T.U.), Turkey. Her PhD research is on the fabrication of TiC/ZrC reinforced aluminum copper composites by powder metallurgy and rapid solidification technique and their microstructural characterisations. She is working on production of composite powders by Impulse Atomization (IA) technique in AMPL as a recipient of the Tubitak International Fellowship.
Christopher Borowski is a Materials Engineering student at the University of Alberta entering his final year of study as an undergraduate student. He will be analyzing atomized Aluminum-Nickel particles,
correlating particle microscopy and morphology to atomization parameters such as particle size and superheat. He will be using, among others, characterization techniques such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
