AEM Welcome Seminar w/ Prof. Perry LeoWelcome Back!
The first meeting of the Fall 2025 Seminar Series (AEM 8000) will be a welcome speech from AEM Department Head, Professor Perry Leo.
Professor
Leo studies phase transformation, pattern formation and material
properties in complex, multiphase solids. Leo and his group use
theoretical and numerical analysis to couple formation of microstructure
in these materials to their properties, such as strength, fracture and
fatigue resistance, and electrical and magnetic response. Leo’s work
encompasses a range of materials, including composite materials,
biological materials, metal alloys and liquid crystals.
*Treats will be provided in Akerman 209 following the seminar!
