Tomás Díaz De La Rubia's March 20th, 2008 presentation: “Energy, Climate and Materials Science: Grand Challenges for the 21st Century” aired on KWSU TV (Channel 10) on Oct. 23rd and Oct. 26th.
2009-2010 Series
Each semester the school sponsors a symposia speaker series inviting both on campus and outside speakers to present current research activities to the faculty and students in the school and university. The symposia are open to all and are announced each week to the campus. The graduate student seminar class attends the series and many students also make presentations to the school as part of the series. The school also invites distinguished alumni to make presentations as part of the symposia series.
Refresments are normally available a half hour before the seminar in Sloan 243.

Investigating Deformation and Failure Mechanisms in Nanoscale Multilayer Metallic Composites
Objectives: Uncover fatigue damage suppression and ultimate failure mechanisms of NMM composites. Develop a novel fatigue experiment for NMM composites. Establish guidelines for designing NMM with optimum properties.
Uniqueness and Innovation: Design a trimetallic NMM composite (Cu/Ni/Nb) which might possess more superior properties than the two types of bimetallic systems(Cu/Ni & Cu/Nb). This might be achieved by building a new system that combines the two bimetallic systems with their respective interface strengthening mechanisms and properties.
