mse – Materials Science & Engineering

Subject: Big Give is coming on March 14 – Join me! Dear alumni, colleagues, and friends of UC Berkeley Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Berkeley’s annual day of giving — Big Give — is happening next week, starting at 9 pm on Wednesday, March 13th and ending at 9 pm on Thursday,…

Kristin Persson, Daniel M. Tellep Distinguished Professor in Materials Science and Engineering at UC Berkeley and a senior faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has been elected as a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in its 2024 Class for Chemistry! The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, founded 1739, was created…

Congratulations to Prof. Ramesh on being inducted to the Honorary Fellowship of the Indian Academy of Sciences, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to science and long-standing connection with the scientific community in India! Indian Academy of Sciences (www.ias.ac.in) elects up to three distinguished scientists to the Honorary Fellowship each year and the total number is limited…

Jim Gebhardt graduated with a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and MS and Ph.D. degrees in Minerals Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He then joined the U. S. Bureau of Mines at Avondale, MD, and moved to the Bureau’s Salt Lake City Research Center when…

Rachel Huang graduated from MSE in 2017. She was a part of Professor Messersmith’s group as an undergrad. You can find the Forbes article here: https://www.forbes.com/30-under-30/2024/science?profile=rachel-huang

As reported in Nature today, the research groups of Professor Ceder and Persson collaborated on the creation of an Autonomous Laboratory for the Synthesis of New Inorganic Materials. Using integration with the Materials Project (materialsproject.org), text-mined synthesis knowledge from over 5Million research papers, and data from Google Deepmind, the A-lab demonstrated the autonomous synthesis of…

Congratulations to Professors Ceder, Persson, Ramesh, Ritchie and Wu! According to Clarivate’s website, “Highly Cited Researchers have demonstrated significant and broad influence in their field(s) of research. Each researcher selected has authored multiple Highly Cited Papers™ which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science™…

A research team led by Prof. Ting Xu has developed a high-performance coating material that self-assembles from 2D nanosheets and could significantly extend the shelf life of electronics, energy storage devices, health & safety products, and more. The nanomaterial breakthrough is also recyclable and could enable a sustainable manufacturing approach that keeps single-use packaging and…

Metamaterials like sneaker midsoles and car bumpers are engineered to carry load or resist impact, but designing these products to perform as expected can be an error-prone process. Now, Berkeley MSE professor Rayne Zheng and their team have developed an innovative design method that leverages artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing to ensure that optimum functionality and target behaviors are…
