Jay Gould, a professor of photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art, traded his Mount Vernon studio for space in the Whiting School of Engineering’s Malone Hall in 2016 as the first Artist-in-Residence for the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute. The result: A large-scale art exhibit including photographs that depict the artist’s interpretation of extreme materials.
Congratulations to Prof. Kevin Hemker and Dr. Kelvin Xie as well as their teammates from Caltech and The University of Sydney on the publication of their paper, “Breaking the Icosahedra in Boron Carbide.” The manuscript elaborates on how the team employed a state-of-art characterization technique – Laser-assisted Atom Probe Tomography, to unravel the atomic structure […]
Congratulations to Professor Rajat Mittal and postdoctoral scholar Neda Yaghoobian, who, along with teammate Ciaran Harman, (Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering), have received a seed grant from the Environment, Energy, Sustainability and Health Institute (E²SHI). Their project will look to termite mounds as inspiration in modeling new approaches for ventilation and reducing energy consumption in buildings. E²SHI’s seed […]
