Mark VanLandingham, Ph.D.: “Materials Science and Engineering at NIST”
Tuesday, March 10, 3:30 p.m., Jorgenson 110


The Materials Science and Engineering Division (MSED) at NIST serves to provide the measurement science, standards, technology, and data required to support the Nation’s need to design, develop, manufacture, and use materials. Unique facilities and capabilities span materials synthesis and processing, structure and property characterization, and computational methods. Current major programs include efforts that support national initiatives in advanced manufacturing, including Additive Manufacturing (AM), and the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), including efforts to harness data and utilize machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) for materials discovery and design.

This talk will provide an overview of materials research at NIST, specifically within MSED, to include current research in polymers, polymer composites, metal alloys, nanomaterials, electronic and magnetic materials, and related development of novel measurements.
