Several members of the Chawla Research Group presented their research at The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society's 2021 conference. Hamid Torbatisarraf, Amey Luktuke, Swapnil Morankar, Ted Huang, Daniel Sinclair, and Dr. Chawla gave talks across a wide range of materials topics and all deserve recognition for their hard work and preparation. The group looks forward to returning to in-person conferences following the remission of the Corona Virus Pandemic but connected with the international materials research community through 5 days of talks and poster sessions hosted online.
