The Center for Advanced Materials (CAMP) Newsletter: March 2021

Message From the Director

We are excited to share with you the winter edition of the CAMP e-newsletter. Our students and faculty continue to amaze us as they pursue the interdisciplinary research and knowledge needed to solve real-world problems. In this edition, we have highlighted just a few of their stories. I hope you enjoy reading them.

Navy Reaches Out to Clarkson

Joint care is a concern for all of us at some point — even ships need professional joint help. But instead of consulting a rheumatologist, the U.S. Navy turned to a group of Clarkson professors, who will assist it in developing novel structural joining methods as an alternative to more costly, yet widely used mechanical joints.

Welding Group Awards Researchers

And the award for most valuable student or faculty paper published in the Welding Journal goes to … a group of Clarkson researchers, for their paper, “In-situ Monitoring of Transient Strain Formation in Vertical Welds.” Their study received the prestigious Charles H. Jennings Memorial Award from the American Welding Society. READ MORE

Got Milk? It Could Reduce CO2 

Clarkson researchers have discovered a way to create activated carbons from an unlikely source — milk. These carbons can then be used to capture CO2 from fossil fuel-based power plant emissions. Titled “CO2 Capture: Dry and Wet CO2 Capture From Milk‐Derived Microporous Carbons With Tuned Hydrophobicity,” their research paper was recently featured in Advanced Sustainable Systems. READ MORE

E&M Program In National Top 25

Cross-training has always been important, but, in the current economic climate, being able to move nimbly between job roles is even more critical. At Clarkson, our engineering and management (E&M) program gives students the skills to do just that. And GreatBusinessSchools.org has recognized how well we do it, ranking our program in the top 25 E&M programs nationally. READ MORE
