Andrea Maria Hodge
Arthur B. Freeman Professor and Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Education
- Doctoral Degree, Materials Engineering, Northwestern University
- Bachelor's Degree, Mechanical Engineering
Research Summary
My group research focus is on the synthesis of engineered microstructures with nanoscale precision, which allows for tailored properties and/or functionality. Our experimental approach includes characterization and testing leading to a fundamental understanding of processes and mechanisms within the synthesis-microstructure space. We use a variety of coating techniques such as sputtering and electrodeposition to design and produce new nano-structured, micro- structured, and amorphous materials for advanced applications.
