From page 243...
... He oversaw materials application engineering activities supporting GE Aviation's global design engineering, manufacturing, and field support activities. He also operated a state-of-the-art in-house laboratory for advanced materials development, characterization, and failure analysis.
From page 244...
... His primary research interest has been in the area of structural materials and, more recently, has begun to study engineering design and the evolution of innovative technological systems. In engineering education, he seeks to provide an education for the public engineer that is an engineer who is extremely well-versed technically and who is also concerned about the societal impact and public understanding of engineering achievements.
From page 245...
... He has been a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers for over 45 years, having served as a chapter officer, on conference committees, on one of the forum committees, and as a peer reviewer for technical papers. HOMERO CASTANEDA is an associate professor and the director at the National Corrosion and Materials Reliability Center within Texas A&M University (TAMU)

... Recent research includes fundamentals of transient liquid phase diffusion bonding, control of melting during gas metal arc welding, effects of welding fume on health of work ers, stresses generated during joining of dissimilar materials, improved methods of dimensional analysis of materials processing, design, forming and assembly of automotive body components, and methods for successful product design and development.

... Horton was a research engineer in the Navy's Vision Point Systems group where he studied environmental effects on fracture, including hydrogen embrittlement on a series of alloy systems including stainless steels, Ni-based superalloys, and titanium, including several forensic analyses of material failures, including high-strength environmental fracture induced failures. As a research associate at University of Virginia, he conducted a hydrogen embrittlement-based failure analysis of line pipe steel used in ocean water, including electrochemical measurements of hydrogen diffusion, hydrogen concentration, and in situ measurements of hydrogen embrittlement, and he studied Cu-based antimicrobial alloys, including E
From page 248...
... He is interested in transforming the field of materials processing by laser from a technological art to scientifically based engineering; laser aided manufacturing; atom to application; technical approach including on-line optical diagnostics, transport phenomena modeling, non-equilibrium synthesis of materials with tailored properties, and their evaluation and characterization. Some of his honors and awards are as fol
From page 249...
... Technical focus includes most forms of corrosion and environment assisted cracking in numerous environments including seawater focusing on a wide variety of materials ranging from high-strength steels and precipitation aged hardened alloys to metallic glasses and high-entropy alloys.
From page 250...
... Dr. Thompson has directed 32 major research projects and numerous field studies and testing projects examining various aspects of corrosion science, corrosion monitoring, and cathodic protec tion.
