Gaustad谈到了k8彩乐园app官网下载和美国的一个联合项目.S. 陆军研究实验室研究超高温陶瓷(UHTC)材料的成形和特性. The project is supported by $13.500万美元的联邦资金,重点进行用于国防系统的UHTC材料的高温特性,以提高性能. Scott Misture ’90, Ph.D. ‘95, Inamori Professor, materials science and engineering, serves as principal investigator for the research, 其中大部分将在k8彩乐园app官网下载的高温表征中心(CHTC)进行.

Gaustad还讨论了纽约州环境保护部(DEC)为支持玻璃回收计划的研究提供的资金. 该项目包括研究开发用废玻璃加固的混凝土,这将大大减少混凝土的碳足迹,并创造新的方法来清洗酒瓶,使其适合重复使用, 这将大大减少进入垃圾填埋场的玻璃废料的数量.

金听说国家铸造中心的铸造厂将设在大学以前的供热厂. The facility, 它的资金来自慈善事业——大学受托人米歇尔·科恩和她的丈夫捐赠的600万美元, Martin—$8.3 million in support from the SUNY Construction Fund. Once completed, 铸造厂将促进一些艺术/工程学术和课外交叉, 包括侧重于冶金和耐火材料的课程和一些学生俱乐部(锻造), forging, and bladesmithing among them).

Following the opening discussion, Gaustad和Lake带领King参观了稻盛县工程学院、艺术设计学院和表演艺术系, where King met with faculty and students. Sullivan led King’s visit to Scholes Library, 在那里,校长会见了几位图书馆工作人员,并与图书馆特别馆藏的学生进行了交谈.

金参观了位于麦克马洪的x射线折射(XRD)实验室, Misture讨论了arl资助的高温陶瓷项目和电池开发研究. Among the students King spoke with was Olivia Gilbert, 她是材料科学与工程专业的大四学生,也是2024年纽约州立大学校长优秀学生奖的两名获得者之一.

He also met Cooper Howard, PhD student in materials science and engineering; Molly Shibitov, a junior ceramic engineering major who is a full-time employee of Corning Incorporated; Yuxuan Sun, a ceramic engineering PhD candidate; Iva Milisavljevic, a post-doctoral researcher; and Allyson Campbell, a junior materials science and engineering major. Campbell, an Alfred native, transferred to Alfred from Rutgers University, where she was studying chemical engineering.

金在斯科尔斯图书馆的特别收藏室度过了一段时间, 他在哪里与来自不同学术背景的学生工作者交谈, including Zulaika Yusuff, a theater and global studies major; Jordan Annlee, a glass engineering science major, and Victoria Vice, an art major, both of whom are Herrick Library Public Services student worker; and Gio Kane, 在斯科尔斯图书馆档案馆工作的艺术系学生.
