Local Motors (Phoenix, Ariz.), with help from Cincinnati Incorporated, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Association for Manufacturing Technology, unveiled the world\'s first 3D-printed car at September\'s International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. Strati-which, according to a company press release, was built in three phases over the course of the six-day show-turned heads as it took a victory lap around the convention center. \"Using 3D printing, we have reimagined how cars are created using modern manufacturing techniques,\" says Local Motors\' CEO and cofounder John B. Rogers Jr., who, together with AMT president Doug Woods, took Strati for its spin. “The results are astounding. We have reduced the amount of car parts from 25,000 to less than 50, proving that we can take a car from designed to driven in less than six months. That is the game changer in the automotive world.\" To find a machine big enough to handle 3D printing of a car, Local Motors turned to ORNL, which regularly works with automakers to develop technologies that will help them meet increasingly strict efficiency guidelines. The lab tapped Cincinnati Incorporated\'s Big Additive Manufacturing Machine for the project\'s first phase, and Strati, created by design competition winner Michele Anoé, was printed in just 44 hours. Phase two involved a full day of milling, or subtractive manufacturing. In the third and final phase before the week\'s end, the car, consisting of just 49 parts, was assembled by a Local Motors-led team. Forbes reports that a base model of the 1,500-pound car could cost about $18,000. But there is no need to wait for Strati to start production: Local Motors has made the files needed to print a mini model available at localmotors.com. Credit: Design Driven REEcycle develops economically viable recycling of rare earths Rare earths are a hot commoditythey are vital to securing solutions for the world\'s energy concerns, with energysaving applications in wind turbines, solar cells, and more. And with China tightly clenching the pursestrings to more than 90% of worldwide production of rare earths, some countries are eager to secure their own sources. A student team from the University of Houston is working to help supply the United States\' own rare-earth stream. The team is commercializing a novel and proprietary method to recycle rare earths neodymium and dysprosium from waste electronics, a technology that was originally developed by UH researcher Allan Jacobson. Although the specifics are guarded, the process removes nickel plating from recycled hard drives and grinds what remains. A solvent extraction process separates insoluble iron and boron from the mix, which are filtered from the solution. According to the company, the solvent is reusable, decreasing production waste, and the process requires heating only to 212°F, making it much less energy-intensive than other processes. The team is now working on scaling up the technology beyond the lab to allow manufacturers to integrate the process directly in existing facilities. REEcycle A University of Houston student team, REEcycle, is looking to recycle rare earths to generate a domestic stream of neodymium and dysprosium.

American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 93, No. 9 | www.ceramics.org 7 ceramics in energy The piezoelectric diet: Molybdenum disulfide thins down to charge up Researchers from Columbia University and Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered some interesting properties of thin molybdenum disulfide that are not present in the bulk material. Their research, recently published in Nature, shows that atomically thin MoS2, but not bulk MoS2, exhibits piezoelectric properties. This characteristic has been theorized, but remained experimentally unobserved, for atomically thin materials. \"Proof of the piezoelectric effect and piezotronic effect adds new functionalities to these two-dimensional materials,\" says Zhong Lin Wang, materials science professor and research coleader, in a Georgia Tech press release. \"The materials community is excited about molybdenum disulfide, and demonstrating the piezoelectric effect in it adds a new facet to the material.\" MoS, is highly polar, so the number of layers affects its properties-an even number of layers cancels out MoS2\'s piezoelectricity, but an odd number of layers allows it to emerge. Crystalline orientation also is key for this material\'s properties, according to the release. To test the conversion of mechanical to electrical energy, the research Garnet ceramics find potential in safer Li-ion batteries Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory say ceramics can help develop batteries that last longer and do more. They report recent tests suggest a garnet ceramic material may be just the candidate for tomorrow\'s higher-energy batteries. The most stable batteries realized to date combine a lithium anode, which has the highest known theoretical energy density capacity, with an aqueous electrolyte to shuttle lithium ions. \"Many novel batteries adopt these two features, but if you integrate both into a single battery, a problem arises because team put thin MoS2 flakes on bendable plastic for testing. After optically determining the crystal orientation, they patterned metal electrodes on the flakes to measure electrical energy output. As the scientists bent MoS2 with odd numbers of layers, the material generated electricity that changed sign with the direction of deformation-but evenlayered Mos, did not. Researchers note that MoS2 is only one of the family of transition-metal dichalcogenides, all of which are predicted to have similar properties. \"What\'s really interesting is we\'ve now found that a material like MoS2, which is not piezoelectric in bulk form, can become piezoelectric when it is thinned down to a single atomic the water is very reactive when in direct contact with lithium metal,\" says lead author Cheng Ma in an ORNL press release. \"The reaction is very violent, which is why you need a protective layer around the lithium.” Materials currently used for that protective layer fall short, so scientists looked to Li,La ZrO2 (LLZO), a cubic garnet ceramic. To test how LLZO might fare within the 5 A Credit: Rob Felt; Georgia Tech A piece of molybdenum disulfide on a flexible plastic substrate, which could be the basis for future electric generators and mechanosensors. layer,\" says coleading author Lei Wang in the release. \"With what we\'re learning, we\'re eager to build useful devices for all kinds of applications,\" adds research coleader and mechanical engineering professor James Hone. \"This material— just a single layer of atoms-could be made as a wearable device, perhaps integrated into clothing, to convert energy from your body movement to electricity and power wearable sensors or medical devices, or perhaps supply enough energy to charge your cell phone in your pocket.\" The paper is \"Piezoelectricity of single-atomic-layer MoS2 for energy conversion and piezotronics” (DOI: 10.1038/ nature13792).

They monitored the material\'s structure using scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. Despite soaking in solutions up to pH 14-as basic as lye and household drain cleaner-LLZO\'s structure remained intact, making it a potentially excellent material to keep materials separated in better batteries. \"Researchers have searched for a suitable solid electrolyte separator material for years,\" says lead author Miaofang Chi in the release. \"The requirements for this type of material are very strict. It must be compatible with the lithium anode because lithium is reactive, and it also has to be stable over a wide pH range, because you can have an alkaline environmentespecially with lithium-air batteries.\" Developing a better protective layer, such as one made of LLZO, would allow development of higher-energy density batteries, which can supply more power in a smaller and lighter package-a must for any mobile application. According to the release, the team next will test the material in an operating battery to see how it performs. The paper, published in Angewandte Chemie, is \"Excellent stability of a lithium-ion-conducting solid electrolyte upon reversible Li*/H* exchange in aqueous solutions\" (DOI: 10.1002/ anie.201408124). Storing solar energy from perovskite-powered photolysis Scientists at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have learned how to bottle the sun. By combining a pair of perovskite solar cells with an electrolyzer, the EPFL team can split hydrogen from water and store it using solely the sun\'s energy. The research was recently published in Science. There are a few requirements for a solar water-splitting system to be Oxygen and hydrogen bubbles forming on low-cost NiFe catalysts. viable—cheap, efficient, scalable, and stable-writes Michigan State University chemistry professor Thomas Hamann in a Science perspectives article about the research. \"Sunlight is by far the most abundant energy resource; harvesting just a small fraction of 1% of available solar energy would be enough to indefinitely satisfy the world\'s entire energy demand,\" Hamann writes. The EPFL team met more of those viability requirements than any previous attempt by pairing perovskite solar cells with nickel/iron-layered double hydroxide catalysts on nickel foam electrodes, which replace more expensive catalysts, such as platinum. \"Both the perovskite used in the cells and the nickel and iron catalysts making up the electrodes require resources that are abundant on Earth and that are also cheap,\" Jingshan Luo says in an EPFL press release. \"However, our electrodes work just as well as the expensive platinum-based models customarily used.\" The team\'s efforts show that 12.3% of the solar energy that hits the device\'s perovskite absorbers is harnessed to split H₂O molecules, making the device much more efficient than its predecessors and signifying an important step toward the future of widespread renewable energy adoption. Beyond being able to offer continuous solar energy, energy storage also is a key issue in the uptake of fuel cell technologies. \"Once you have hydrogen, you store it in a bottle and you can do with it whatever you want to, whenever you want it,” says senior author Michael Grätzel in the press release. The release continues, \"Such a gas can indeed be burned-in a boiler or engine-releasing only water vapor. It also can pass into a fuel cell to generate electricity on demand.\" As with any discovery, there is still work to do. The concluding sentence of the paper\'s abstract notes a remaining challenge: \"Currently, the perovskite instability limits the cell lifetime.\" The paper is \"Water photolysis at 12.3% efficiency via perovskite photovoltaics and Earth-abundant catalysts\" (DOI: 10.1126/science.1258307).

They all are manufacturing industries in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition, they all depend one way or another on engineered ceramics and glasses. So, when organizers of Ceramics Expo (CEX)-a new manufacturing trade show-went hunting for a site to establish the new show, they quickly realized Cleveland is located ideally in the center of the manufacturing Midwest. They also quickly realized that the city is leveraging its steelmaking and automaking acumen into new industries, such as energy and biomedicine. Cleveland knows manufacturing! Ceramics Expo debuts April 28-30, 2015, in Cleveland, Ohio. Organizers selected the site because of its central location to manufacturing in the Midwest that is both convenient and accessible. The event presents a perfect opportunity for CEOs, production and technical directors, lead engineers, project managers, and buyers to explore the latest innovations and research in this exciting and constantly evolving industry.

Through a unique, state-of-the-art manufacturing technology emulsion detonation synthesis (EDS)-Innovnano (Antanhol, Portugal) produces homogeneous nanostructured powders with uniform chemical distribution for guaranteed high powder performance and consistency. At Ceramics Expo, Innovnano will exhibit its aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO) sputter coating targets, available in two- and three-inch diameters. Raw AZO powder has small grain sizes and high reactivity, enabling the production of full density targets at lower sintering temperatures to minimize grain growth. These sputtering targets offer improved thermal and mechanical properties for depositing high-performance coatings or films such as transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), which can be used to produce highly efficient photovoltaic cells. As such, AZO offers an effective, lower-cost alternative to indium tin oxide, the current \"gold standard\" material for TCOs. Innovnano also will bring to the show its highquality, nanostructured monoclinic zirconia and other nanostructured powders, ideal for use as dopants in zirconia filters for steel foundries. The nanostructured zirconia acts as a binder, allowing filters to better resist physical wear and disintegration from heat, and therefore improve component lifetime. Innovnano\'s other nanostructured powders, for example 3 mol.% yttria stabilized zirconia, are ideal for hot press and hot isostatic pressing applications. www.innovnano-materials.com Visit Innovnano at booth 241 Correct as of 11/14/2014 Booth Company Nabaltec AG 229 Smaht Ceramics Booth 141 Netzsch Instruments NA LLC 119 SolidCAM Inc 301 Northern Illinois University 110 Stahli USA Inc 111 NSL Analytical 243 Superior Graphite 232 Nu-Star Inc 227 Superior Technical Ceramics Corp 122 Nutec Bickley 143 Swindell Dressler Intl 225 Nyacol Nano Technologies Inc 542 TA Instruments - Water Corp LLC 210 Paul O Abbe 438 Team by Sacmi, Laeis GmbH 140 Philips Ceramics Uden 106 TevTech LLC 443 Piezo Kinetics Inc 435 The American Ceramic Society 207 Powder Processing & Technology LLC 339 Thermaltek 313 PremaTech Advanced Ceramics 464 Trans-Tech Inc 228 PSC Inc 441 Treibacher Industrie AG 223 PTX-Pentronix Inc/Gasbarre Products Inc 319 Union Process Inc 536 Rath Inc 317 Verder NV 149 Robocasting Enterprises LLC 315 Viridis3D LLC 126 Saint Gobain SIC 201 Zircar Ceramics Inc 322 Sauereisen 136 Zircoa Inc 131 Sigma Advanced Materials 307 Free-to-attend conference overview A concurrent technical conference-also free to attend will run in the exhibition hall alongside the three-day Ceramics Expo 2015.

Well-trained, creative engineers and scientists A$ à research, innovate, develop, and test new products and, ultimately, manufacture and sell them. How do companies recruit, train, and retain a workforce that will deliver the necessary competitive edge? To find out, we turned to two very different types of companies for insight. Du-Co Ceramics is a small, privately-owned, domestic ceramic component manufacturer. Corning Incorporated is a large, multinational specialty glass manufacturer. While they do not compete in the product marketplace, they do compete in the talent marketplace. This interview-format article provides a basis to compare two approaches to building a workforce and a business. A Corning employee examines a piece of liquid crystal display glass in a clean room environment. Corning IncorporatedFinding \'technical athletes\' among its specialists The Fundamental Research building at Corning\'s Sullivan Park Campus opened in 1966. Credit: Corning In Credit: Coming Inc. Corning Incorporated is one of the world\'s leading innovators in materials science. For more than 160 years, Corning has applied its unparalleled expertise in specialty glass, ceramics, and optical physics to develop products that have created new industries and transformed people\'s lives. Corning is a publically traded company with approximately 34,000 employees worldwide. What is your recruitment process for hiring engineers? As a materials science company, Corning looks for the best technically trained individuals with a strong fundamental understanding of engineering, physics, chemistry, and/ or mathematics. In addition, we look for candidates who work well in a team, adapt quickly to change, and have strong verbal and written communication skills. Simply put-we seek deep technical specialists as well as broadbased \"technical athletes\" who can play in a variety of positions. From a recruiting perspective, Corning has relationships with many of the top science and engineering schools in the country and frequently visits those campuses throughout the year to educate students on Corning and future opportunities that may become available. What is your company\'s hiring strategy, and what role do student opportunities play? Corning looks for people with strong skills (expertise or backgrounds) in technology who are willing to invest in a career with the company, rather than just take a job. Each summer in the United States, we hire 150-200 undergraduate and graduate interns. This represents approximately 50 colleges and universities from across the country. In addition, there are intern programs for our Asia Pacific and Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions. Corning\'s internship program is designed to stretch the knowledge students receive in the classroom into real work experiences. We also encourage interns to get out and explore the surrounding communities throughout the summer. Corning plays a significant role in supporting the communities where it has operations. We want students to leave their internships with valuable work experience and an awareness of social responsibility. www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 93, No. 9 Credit: Corning Inc. In addition to summer internships, Corning collaborates with a variety of colleges and universities on programs where students receive academic credit for work that they participate in while working at Corning. This gives students an opportunity to closely collaborate with industry experts on specific topics for an extended period of time. How do you orient and train new staff? Our onboarding process is a customized and personalized experience that enables new employees to be successful right from the start. It includes task lists and interactive courses designed to energize, motivate, accelerate, and retain. Employees also participate in a series of online courses to help them get familiar with the company, its values, and important processes. New hires also are encouraged to take part in a \"smart\" process, where they meet with key functional leaders shortly after they start to discuss areas of responsibility and how they will work with them in the future. The onboarding framework helps to ensure employees deliver results faster and stay at the company longer. How does your company approach career development? Career development at Corning is designed to increase employability and career satisfaction by aligning employee development plans with Corning\'s critical needs. We encourage employees to take advantage of training that is offered in traditional classroom and online settings for personal skill development and leadership training. In doing so, employees will enhance their own development and help Corning achieve better performance. Corning looks for a solid technical foundation in its potential job candidates. Companies work hard to retain employees. How do you approach this? Retention at Corning is important because our workforce is vital to our success. We retain employees by living all seven of our values all the time, all around the world-quality, integrity, performance, leadership, innovation, independence, and the individual-and maintaining a highly collaborative, inclusive culture that values diversity. What is your company\'s biggest challenge in building a qualified workforce? We have two. First, as a specialty glass and ceramics company, we often look for very \"niche\" skill sets. Second, Corning\'s offices and manufacturing facilities are located in small towns. It\'s important that prospective employees understand what Corning has to offer professionally and in the local communities. Once people are hired into Corning, they tend to stay. What workforce development trends have you seen during the past ten years? The pace of innovation has accelerated dramatically during the past Credit: Corning Inc. decade. Therefore, candidates coming to Corning need to have a solid technical foundation and the ability to quickly shift focus in areas related to material sciences. Having a solid multidisciplinary background and the willingness to move into new positions or projects will help expand their knowledge and collaboration network within the company. Any further thoughts? Corning is home to one of the U.S.\'s oldest research and development facilities. We formally established a research and development laboratory in 1908, when only a handful of companies were engaged in formal research and development. Sullivan Park is named after Dr. Eugene Sullivan, Corning\'s first research director who was responsible for organizing a multidiscipline research and development laboratory focused on material sciences. At more than two million square feet, Sullivan Park is the central location for Corning\'s research and development efforts, which also includes a global network of smaller laboratories throughout Asia and Europe. It also is the company\'s primary location for early stage research through product development efforts and houses several pilot plants to test production-scale manufacturing and produce prototypes. The Sullivan Park campus is home to some of the world\'s leading experts in glass, materials science, optical physics, and process engineering, with its employee base representing more than 40 countries.

Du-Co Ceramics Company cultivates custom employees for custom ceramics Engineering vice president Mike Crytzer (left) works with lab technician Steve White on a coordinate measuring machine. Credit: Du-Co Du-Co Ceramics, founded in 1949, manufactures technical ceramic products for a global market. Specializing in precision made and customdesigned components from a variety of materials, Du-Co employs 220 people at two facilities in Saxonburg, Pa. and Monroe, N.C. What is your recruitment process for hiring engineers? Defining the qualifications and skillsets required by an open position is an important first step in the recruitment process. For example, if the position is entry level and a more experienced engineer will be providing on-the-job knowledge, then a candidate who is a recent graduate with no prior work experience is considered and perhaps desired. That candidate offers training on the latest concepts in the field, and the senior engineer can teach our processes and culture. Whether the candidate will be working mostly alone or as part of a team also is an important detail. If the open position has direct reports, then we seek someone with supervisory experience. General skills for all engineering positions include a good work ethic and communication skills-written and verbal. Proficiency with computers, with experience in the specific programs or equipment we utilize, also is a plus. We utilize a variety of recruitment processes, but in all cases a well-defined job description is essential. We find most job seekers use online posting services and local or industry recruiters. We always post job openings on our website. What is your company\'s hiring strategy, and what role do student opportunities play? Over the past decade, our hiring strategy has included replacement of retiring personnel, as well as adding positions to prepare for planned growth. Because of the custom nature of our manufacturing process, we allow for significant overlap when hiring to replace a retiring individual. For planned growth of a department, we consider the workload of existing personnel and the time required to train new hires. Through a charitable foundation established by our founder over 20 years ago to invest in tomorrow\'s leaders, Du-Co provides educational scholarships and awards through our local high schools and most recently through ACerS. Du-Co also supports numerous community service and educational programs. We have hosted engineering interns, most of whom have been local students who approached us for such an opportunity, and provide summer employment for college students of current employees. How do you orient and train new staff? Du-Co develops an onboarding plan for each new hire. For engineering hires, the plan includes interactive training for three to six months depending on the position, education, and experience of the new hire. The first few days of employment consist of general orientation activities, and the new hire spends some time in various departments to meet coworkers in HR, IT, accounting, and sales to learn about our company\'s business, culture, and pro16 www.ceramics.org | American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 93, No. 9 Credit: Du-Co cedures relevant to the position. After general orientation, a new production engineer spends a significant amount of time assisting other engineers and the plant manager as well as various departmental supervisory personnel to learn our processes and systems. Sales engineers whose main job duties do not include troubleshooting production issues will spend less time in the plant and more training time with sales and estimating engineers, as they will be providing part design assistance to customers. Engineering, quality, and other management personnel whose background does not include formal ceramic training often take the Fundamentals of Ceramics course now offered through ASM International. How does your company approach career development? Career development plans are not carved in stone-neither for the company nor the employee—because it is true that the only constant in this world is change! From the company\'s perspective, we attempt to accurately assess anticipated openings under normal circumstances and plan for succession accordingly. When possible, we schedule an overlap period sufficient to allow new employees to learn our systems from exiting employees, whether they are retiring or being promoted. We also take this approach with our entire workforce and provide employees an opportunity to express interest in open positions. Companies work hard to retain employees. How do you approach this? Training or perhaps more appropriately, learning-continues throughout an employee\'s career at Du-Co. As a custom ceramic manufacturer, we constantly take on new parts that challenge and expand our capabilities. Many of our engineers find this exciting because it provides a high level of satisfaction to design and bring a new part through the production process. We use various on-the-job training programs, including all types of courses offered through organizations such as local universities and colleges, vendor-sponsored seminars, on-site technical training, manufacturers\' programs through our regional NIST-sponsored Manufacturing Extension Program (Catalyst Connection), online courses, and onsite training provided by senior Du-Co managers. Regular performance reviews with employee participative goal setting, merit-based pay, and comprehensive benefits are strong tools for employee retention. We aspire to promote a teamwork culture Engineering vice president Mike Crytzer (left) and process engineer Josh Rupp work with one of Du-Co\'s Baxter robots. that recognizes individual effort, and we have enjoyed a history of retaining longterm personnel. This past August we had the pleasure of presenting our very first 50-year service award! What is your company\'s biggest challenge in building a qualified workforce? The biggest challenge is finding people who are a good match for the position and whose personal philosophy aligns with our company\'s culture. We analyze our positions in an attempt to identify what attributes have enabled prior personnel to be successful and happy as well as understand issues that have resulted in failure. During interviews, we spend significant time communicating the position\'s requirements to applicants. We ask questions designed to understand what is important to them in order to find a good fit for each position. We believe ongoing and honest communication as well as fair treatment and compensation are the best tools for retaining personnel. What workforce development trends you seen during the past ten have years? People are willing to commute longer distances, which has expanded the pool of local candidates. But there also is a dearth of degreed ceramic engineers—that has been a hiring handicap for ceramic manufacturers that have more openings in production than research. Our track record in retaining relocated personnel has not been consistent, although losing relocated personnel often has been attributed to the families\' inability to adjust to the move rather than dissatisfaction with the position. past Another trend during the decade has been the need for more quality technicians, supervisory personnel, and mechanical and robotics engineers. Most candidates applying for these positions have not been degreed ceramics engineers. Consequently, we have been forced to rely on-the-job training by senior engineering personnel within the company as well as on-line and short course ceramic material and process-related training for these new hires to acquire the knowledge they need to be successful. Any further thoughts? Degreed ceramic engineers often do not have much, if any, human resource or business management training, which can be a handicap for a recent graduate applying for a position that requires supervisory skills. In today\'s world, where a domestic company\'s investment in its employees has dramatically increased, these skills are important. We advise engineering students to take these types of courses if possible and to participate in extracurricular activities that provide leadership opportunities to develop these skills. Lastly, landing a management position with direct reports is just the start— earning their trust and respect is essential to success. Although a ceramic engineer may possess greater knowledge of why ceramic materials behave as they do, employees experienced with the company\'s processes can become the manager\'s most valuable on-the-job asset.

A student perspective from the United Kingdom As a Ph.D. student in the United Kingdom, I have a far smaller pool of nearby knowledge to draw upon and far fewer people to work with than my American counterparts. Modern research is such a global effort that getting the most out of your time involves collabo rating with other research groups and institutions and attending conferences. I am lucky and unlucky that, being in the U.K., this can involve a significant amount of international travel. I am unlucky in that it is far more expensive and time-consuming for me to attend a conference in the United States than for domestic students. However, I also am incredibly lucky that I get to explore a range of places and discover a variety of research processes in those places. When you start to work in a lab, particularly if you are inexperienced in research, you get used to the usual methodology and can forget to question the way things are done. But Ph.D. programs and academic research in general-can vary widely between countries. Visiting another country can make it quickly apparent that the hierarchy, process, and demands vary significantly. In the past six months, I have been lucky enough to work in the U.K. and in Germany. And recently, I had the opportunity to travel to the U.S. to attend an annual business meeting of ACerS\'s student-led committee, the President\'s Council of Student Advisors. This committee consists of students from all over the world brought together by mutual research interests. What struck me was how varied our education experiences have been. Undergraduates in the U.K. focus their studies down to a single subject. Even since I was 16 years old, my studies have focused only on sciences. However, in the U.S., this does not happen until much later. In the U.K., it takes only three years to get a bachelor\'s degree and there are limited opportunities for research experience during that time. Ph.D. programs generally are limited to four years, during which time it is unusual to take classes. Other countries vary, but it is generally unusual elsewhere to receive a Ph.D. after only seven years, while this is the norm in the U.K. This naturally lends itself to a more intense university experience, with students carrying a far narrower range of expertise. What I have learned from students working on similar projects at other universities is that in this short time, no opportunity should be wasted. When you are thrown into research straight after an undergraduate degree, it takes some time to work out how to make research work for you. But I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to visit so many people who work in such different ways—and this has accelerated my adjustment. The way that I work through ideas and structure my plans comes from an amalgamation of things that I have seen work for people all over the world. With this experience, I am happy and comfortable in my work and can be confident that I am using my full ability. This, I think, is an invaluable advantage in my Ph.D. research. Theresa Davey is a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London, where she calculates phase diagrams for ultra-high temperature ceramics. Previously, she earned master\'s degrees in theoretical physics and shock physics. As well as being an editor of the Imperial College student newspaper, Felix, Davey plays women\'s rugby for the university team.

MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED ENGINEERS WITH A KNOWLEDGE OF CERAMICS ... Materials professionals use ceramics and glass to pioneer energy solutions, advance medicine, improve the environment, support manufacturing innovations, and make life better. While ceramic and glass technologies are growing in importance, there are significant talent and training shortfalls facing the ceramic and glass industry. MISSION: The mission of the CGIF is to ensure that industry is able to attract and train the highest quality talent available to work with engineered systems and products that utilize ceramic and glass materials. foundation.ceramics.org The American Cercmic Society ENG EDUCATION • TRAINING NETWORKING OUTREACH ADVOCACY . What will the Foundation deliver? Global Internship Database CGIF will build an international database of internships so that students and companies can optimize the search to find each other and significantly improve the likelihood of successful matches. University Industry Network CGIF will establish and maintain an active network of students and Key Professors at universities, together with champions in industry. The CGIF will provide incentives and infrastructure so that all participants benefit from their interaction. Student Outreach CGIF will promote ceramic and glass science and engineering to middle and high school students through programming, outreach and wide distribution of teaching aids and science kits. We will participate in science fairs and similar events to promote the opportunities and rewards of a career in our field. Scholarships CGIF will fund scholarships to students who demonstrate interest in ceramic and glass science and engineering. Key Professors at participating colleges and universities will select qualified students. Continuing Education and Training CGIF will support the continued training of those already in industry. We will work with experts in the field to create training modules that can be delivered in multiple formats, such as webinars, CD-based training, and in-person workshops. Advocacy CGIF will advocate for continued support of the materials engineering discipline, ceramic and glass materials in particular. While not a trade organization, our charter enables us to support public policy that recognizes the important contributions that engineered materials make to our way of life. A key objective of the CGIF is to highlight the value of ceramic and glass materials to those outside our own profession. How can you support the Ceramic and Glass Industry Foundation? Your financial support will help the CGIF to: ⚫ Create awareness of the critical work done by ceramic and glass professionals worldwide. ⚫ Attract qualified students to our field and help them thrive. Fill the \'talent pipeline\' industry needs. · Support continued professional development for those in the workforce. The American Ceramic Society has committed an initial $1,000,000 matching grant to the CGIF. Every dollar you donate, up to $1 million, will double in value by ACerS\' matching grant. Also, The American Ceramic Society is providing all overhead and administrative services. Thus every dollar of your donation— plus a dollar from the matching grant-will provide scholarships and programming.
