Congratulations Will! Will recently won the 2018 Robert M. Caddell Memorial Team Award for Research. This award is presented to a faculty/graduate student team that has jointly made significant contributions to research in materials and/or manufacturing. This award was gifted by Robert M. Caddell, former U-M ME faculty member and graduate chairman.

Congratulations to Will, who won the Gold Award (1st place) in the Annual Materials Research Symposium at U. Michigan for his poster titled, “The Influence of Phase Transformation on Shape Memory Alloy Fatigue and Fracture”! The symposium was open to all graduate students across campus at U-M engaged in materials research. 

Will was chosen as one of four finalists in the BSSM YSA competition. He will compete in the finals at the 12th International Conference on Advances in Experimental Mechanics, held at the University of Sheffield 29-31st August 2017. Good luck, Will!
