ONR Research Grant Award

Prof. Oropeza has been awarded a grant from the Office of Naval Research for work on "Predictive Ultrasonic Atomization for Small-Batch, High-Yield Metal Powder Synthesis". We look forward to developing a predictive framework to correlate metal powder characteristics with ultrasonic atomization process parameters and providing research opportunities to undergraduates and graduates at UCSB. 

We would like to thank Mr. Anthony Smith, Dr. Charles Fisher, and Dr. Jennifer Wolk for their guidance and support of our work.
