Bruker Hysitron Webinar: Stress-dependent Adhesion in Nanoscale Contacts: An in situ TEM Investigation

Next group member introduction: Arushi is a third year PhD student at the Jacobs Research Group working in macro-scale adhesion of hard materials.

Next group member intro: Felix is a postdoc in our group, focusing on nano-scale adhesion, friction, and wear of crystalline materials.

The two sides of research in the Tevis Jacobs Lab: Atomic-scale Interactions & Device-scale Performance

Next group member introduction is Ruikang Ding! He is a PhD candidate from 2020 to 2025. Ruikang’s major is materials science and engineering, researching mechanical behavior of metal nanoparticles.

Next group member intro! Andrew Baker is a fourth year PhD student studying the nanoscale adhesion of materials.

Tevis Jacobs hosted a webinar with authors from the recent MRS Bulletin. Live audience of more than 380; was also recorded. Check it out here!

Next group member intro! Cora Brown is one of the undergraduate members of the lab having joined Spring semester of her junior year.

Special Issue of MRS Bulletin! Tevis Jacobs co-edited a special issue on The Materials Science and Mechanics of Rough Surfaces. Check it out here!

Group member intro! My name is Tevis Jacobs; I lead the Jacobs Research Lab at Pitt. We study the science of surfaces and how they affect the world around us.
