Caleb Schenck

Caleb received his Bachelor of Science in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (summa cum laude) from Colorado School of Mines after growing up in Littleton, CO. The first research Caleb participated in was on the physical metallurgy of advanced high-strength sheet steel, focusing on thermomechanical processing, microstructural design, and characterization (SEM, tensile, dilatometry). He is currently working in site-specific nanomechanical behavior of materials, along with advanced characterization such as APT and TEM at NC State University. The long-term goal of Caleb's work is to utilize combined computational-experimental work to understand processing-structure-property relationships via high-throughput experimentation on processing and composition for materials in extreme environments. This goal utilizes collaboration with simulation and machine learning expertise, traditional, or advanced manufacturing to understand the physical mechanisms responsible for a material's observed properties.
