BS in Mechanical Engineering, Sungkyunkwan Univeristy, Feb, 1998
MS in Mechanical Engineering, U of Michigan, April, 2005

My research interest is the material behavior at high temperature. Materials used in power plant are subject to high temperature environment as well as various contaminants in coolant. Especially in Nuclear Power plant, the temperature goes over 1300¡æ and various coolants are being used from water to He gas. For ...more>>

Jessica Ter-Bush

email: jterbush@engin.umich.edu
room: 2024 Gerstacker
University Of Michigan

Jessica is working on the development and characterization of new Mg alloys for high-temperature powertrain applications. This is of particular interest to the automotive industry due to the growing need for vehicle weight reduction. Alloys in the Mg-Al-X ternary system (where X = Ca, Sr, Ce, or La) and Mg-Al-Ca-X ...more>>
