Thanks for joining us for “Lunch with an Engineer”! We’re excited to have a chance to chat with you a bit about life as an Engineer at UK, and Materials Engineering as a field. We’ll meet on the Social Stair in the Gatton Student Center, right by the Wildcat statue. At least one of us
We have fully-funded PhD and Post-Doc positions available starting in Fall 2021 or Spring 2022! Stipends at UK are competitive, living expenses are low, and Lexington and UK are great places to live and learn! Ph. D. Research Assistant position in modeling/designing nanostructured/nanocrystalline alloys – This DOE funded project is in collaboration with a technology
With on campus research resuming full-throttle this summer, the group is thrilled to welcome three 2021 Undergraduate Summer Researchers: Ms. Katherine Moody – Ms. Moody is a senior in MSE and has worked as a KRaSTk developer and user for the past few years. This summer Ms. Moody will compute mechanical property distributions for models
Ms. Sarah O’Brien has joined the Beck Group as a PhD student. Ms. O’Brien will be using DFT to study the formation, stability, and entropy of complex alloys. As part of an ARL funded project at UK, Ms. O’Brien will help search for new high-temperature/high-strength alloys for a range of applications! Welcome, Sarah!
Mr. Shankar Miller-Murthy has joined the Beck Research Group as a Research Assistant. Mr. Miller-Murthy will be using DFT to compute properties of Ba/Sc/O-covered W surfaces searching for low-energy and low-work function configurations. This work is part of an ongoing project studying Sc-containing thermionic cathodes that is funded by DARPA.
I think this is generally pretty good advice… especially the comments towards the end about the Title & Abstract, and how “it’s about the reader”! https://phaseportrait.blogspot.com/2019/04/how-to-write-scientific-paper-in-four.html?fbclid=IwAR3kBPHozX3-qBtp5c8WlPnit0XYqV9nKfjGVW_5gtKrl-1qvYCcBeNg3vY
Ms. Mujan Seif recently joined the Beck Research Group as a Graduate Research Assistant.
Katie Moody (MSE, ’21), who recently joined the Beck Group as part of the Properties of Random Networks project, has accepted a prestigious NASA Pathways internship. She will be on-site with NASA for two semesters and a summer, and have the opportunity to work closely with NASA researchers. The internship includes a competitive stipend.
Faculty advisor who choose to may have their own ELN sites on the network. Prof. Beck maintains his ELN here. Faculty with their own ELN sites will use them just as other group members do: to record all research-relevant activity. In addition, faculty advisors will use group members ELNs as digital, searchable, online, real-time and
The goals of this ELN are: Serve as a digital, searchable, online lab notebook for recording all research-relevant information: ideas, hypotheses, analyses, processes, inputs, results, outcomes, discussions, conclusions, etc. Enable near-real-time and on-demand communication and research management between group members and faculty advisors. Simplify multi-investigator (particularly multi-advisor) research management and communication. Replace paper lab notebook
