Aszetta Jordan

Name of program: Advanced Industrial Materials Program

Research assignment: Her research has contributed to a better understanding of why the galvanization of silicon-bearing steel has been known to result in abnormal coating structures. These abnormalities have caused poor corrosion resistance and early deterioriation.

Undergraduate education: Tuskegee University, B.S. in mechanical engineering, 1987

Graduate education: University of Cincinnati, M.S. in materials science and engineering, 1996.  Ph.D. in materials science, 1999.

"My research experience provided me with a financial base that allowed me to concentrate fully on my research responsibilities, allowed me to travel to professional meetings, and gave me hands-on experience in operating state-of-the-art equipment that was not available through my university."
