	126: Racquet Sports Equipment and Materials Testing (ft. Koki Asahina)	25 Dec 2023	00:38:55
Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/2R3o5UMJ0SI When you pick up a racquet at the tennis court, have you ever thought: “this feels great!” Or, “this doesn’t feel so great”? There’s a science to that! Sports equipment companies rely on feedback from amateur players, professionals, customers, and their employees to design better products by translating subjective data into materials engineering problems. This lets them improve on pre-existing designs on sports gear. We are joined by Koki Asahina, an MSE student from Georgia Tech who is currently a racket sports engineering intern at Wilson Sporting Goods Company, who tells us all about how the “feel” is crucial to the design and improvement of sports equipment, and the large role played by materials science in this. 🔹How feedback from players and users are used to improve racquet design 🔹How sports equipment are tested using industry-standard experiments 🔹Why simulations are useful to understand the relationship between material properties and their functions 🔹Why we need a worldwide standard of material specifications 🔹And much more!

	125: Driving Nuclear Energy: Data-Driven Materials Science (ft. David Pham)	20 Nov 2023	00:51:50
A resume mix-up landed a material scientist into a data scientist role. This happy accident led him to discover how data drives the design and operation of materials and experiments. At its core, nuclear energy is all about generating electricity by converting water to steam to drive a turbine - very, very powerfully. But there’s a ton of data management that goes into its successful operation. Our guest this week is David Pham, a senior materials engineer at TerraPower, who talks about his current projects Natrium, a Gen IV nuclear reactor, and ARMI, their in-house materials database solution. Join us as we also discuss: 🔹How data from materials, mechanical properties, chemical operations dictates the experiments and models in nuclear processes. 🔹 The importance of rigorous record keeping and data management in a sensitive field like nuclear energy. 🔹 The regulatory and auditing challenges in the nuclear industry, and how it departs from traditional sectors like oil and gas. 🔹 How data science will become more and more important for nuclear and material (and any kind of) engineers in the future. 🔹 And much more!

	104: Creating Infinitely Recyclable Polymers (ft. Dr. Kezi Cheng)	24 Apr 2023	00:38:31
Recycling plastic reduces its mechanical properties, proportional to the number of recycling cycles. If recycled too much, a plastic bag may tear when filled with groceries and its color and texture may change. Making new products, rather than recycling, can be an appealing option if environmental impacts are overlooked. What if we could permanently overcome this degradation in properties of recycled plastic? What if we could make a material that can be recycled forever, at a low cost and high yield? In today’s episode, we welcome Dr. Kezi Cheng, a recycling warrior and the CEO of Flo Materials, Inc, a startup that focuses on enabling infinitely recyclable polymers. With her, we discuss: 🔹FLO Materials’ general approach to enabling infinitely recyclable polymers, using Polydiketoenamines (PDK’s). 🔹️The cost efficiency of recycling vs. creating new plastic products. 🔹️What the global landscape of infinitely recyclable polymers looks like. 🔹How the number of women in innovation and entrepreneurship can shape fields. 🔹And much more!
