Brief Biographical Sketch:
Ryan received his B.S./M.S. degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University (2011) and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University (2016). His doctoral work focused on thermomechanical degradation mechanisms in various thin film technologies, primarily with the purpose of improving reliability of multijunction photovoltaic devices. Ryan is interested in the materials challenges associated with matching the world's growing need for renewable energy, and in helping to combat the effects of anthropogenic climate change through technological advancement. Ryan has extensive experience in teaching, mentorship, and community building, both at Northwestern and Stanford. As a Lecturer in the Materials Science and Engineering department, he currently teaches "Mechanical Behavior Laboratory", "Nanostructure and Characterization", and "Nanomaterials Laboratory", in addition to past and present assistance in the instruction of "Electronic and Photonic Materials and Devices Laboratory" and "Mechanical Properties of Materials". Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)E6291: Materials Gone Wrong! in Splash Spring 2018 (May. 05 - 06, 2018)
It's a bad day if your phone screen cracks, but it's something else entirely if your airplane falls out of the sky. Learn about the science and engineering behind materials failures in history through demonstrations and hands-on experiments. Emphasis on HANDS-ON demonstrations, not a boring lecture! We'll experience first-hand how liquid metals can catastrophically destroy structural materials in applications like space exploration and aerospace. We'll explore how many materials can change dramatically with changes in structure, temperature, and other conditions. You'll walk away from this class with greater knowledge of the atomic structure of materials and a deeper appreciation for the diverse properties of the materials that surround our everyday life.
