What was your Summer escape before returning to school this Fall?
MATS Faculty, Prof. Marc Meyers, got out from the lab and made the hike to the peak of Mt. Huron in CO. (14,000+ feet) Our Engineers are always looking to push themselves to 'new heights' and Prof. Meyers has always led by example!

MATS PhD Student Sheron Tavares (advised by Prof. Marc Meyers) is the first author on a new paper published in Acta Materialia.
