The U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics now offers a graduate certificate program in hypersonic flight. The field of hypersonics has emerged as a technical discipline that is critical to ensure the United States will be able to fight and win future conflicts. The graduate certificate in hypersonic flight is…
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) received a technical inquiry about approved hexavalent chrome replacements for U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) applications. DSIAC subject matter experts performed a study and identified several works that provide lengthy discussions about the available options. In addition, they identified a National Aeronautics and Space Administration database that focuses on disseminating screening test results for hexavalent chrome-free coatings…

NSMMS and CRASTE, two space-focused conferences, will colocate events for the 11th year. These colocated Symposia continue their outstanding legacy in bringing together technologists, users, and decision-makers from across the nation. Discussions involve key technology…
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Dr. Zhang’s recent research interests include additive manufacturing and ceramic materials for energy applications. He is collaborating with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Army Research Laboratory (CRADA 19-013-001), Praxair Surface Technologies, and Argonne National Laboratory to develop novel coating technologies on 3-D-printed metals. The process will significantly
improve mechanical and thermal properties of 3-D-printed materials.
