The Schoenung Research Group synthesizes, characterizes, and models new materials to meet the increasing demands of ballistic, transportation, and energy applications. The group is also involved in a Green Engineering initiative, investigating the impacts of materials transactions on human health and environmental quality.
Current research focuses on the deformation mechanisms of magnesium alloys, investigation of laser-engineered net shaping (LENS) fabrication methods, LENS fabrication of battery materials, processing and properties of high entropy oxide (HEO) ceramics, and investigation of sustainability in materials manufacturing processes.
Directed by Dr. Julie Schoenung, the Schoenung Research Group is now located at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. We are located approximately two hours from Houston, Texas. Dr. Schoenung has a joint professorship with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the J. Mike Walker ’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering.
