Project Description
NASA and other space organizations (SpaceX, Blue Origen, etc) are looking for protective coatings to aid in extending the life of equipment and subsystems critical to mission success. Students will be investigating protective coatings meant to be used in space environments.Research Tasks: Students will conduct experiments and learn how to interpret data in a tribology (study of friction, wear, and lubricants) laboratory. The main goal of the work performed by students is to help advance readiness of materials to be used in space environments.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: There are no "required" skills needed to start working in this laboratory.
Recommended:
- Excel
- Matlab
**Recommended skills can/will be learned while working in lab**
