Welcome!
Mr. Byungchul Yang joined the lab. His M.S. research starts in Jan 13 2020. He had worked for more than seven years at an electroplating company in S. Korea. His involvement is a great addition to a new area – hybrid additive manufacturing for 3D printed electronics.
Congratulations!
Omar Faruk Emon, mechanical engineering Ph.D. student at The University of Akron, won first place and a prize of $3,000 in the Monte Jade Innovation Competition 2019 in the Future Tire category. Sponsored by the Monte Jade Science and Technology Association and Maxxis Tires, this national competition promotes innovation among college students in the fields of science and technology.

Congratulation!
Title: Ionic liquid-based 3D printed soft pressure sensors and their applications.
Now he is under ABD and we call him a Ph.D. candidate, not a student. He plans to have a Ph.D. defense in spring 2020. He has published several papers and plans to submit more manuscripts soon.
Congratulation!
Aslan graduated in Dec 2019 and will pursue a Ph.D. degree at Ohio State University. Wish his success at OSU.
