We really enjoyed the three-days visit by Sara Schellbach, our former undergraduate researcher, who graduated from MSE program in 2016. She currently works for GM, and pursues her MS degree at Wayne State University. Sara came with her brother who will join Michigan Tech in the fall semester. This was a great opportunity to gather entire team together for a pizza and beer at the Ambassador restaurant.
When Sara worked with us, she explored wettability of natural fibers, using a novel technique developed in our laboratory. Her paper entitled A novel method of contact angle measurements on natural fibers was published in Materials Letters. This paper has been well received, especially researchers who explore the use of natural fibers.
