Lab joins the new Pratt & Whitney Center of Excellence for Solidification Science

UC Irvine and Pratt & Whitney have established a Center of Excellence for Solidification Science, directed by Distinguished Professor Diran Apelian, to advance the materials processing behind jet-engine components such as single-crystal turbine blades. Prof. Rimoli and Project Scientist Kevin Garanger are among the center’s core faculty, alongside colleagues from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
