Dr. Robert Mayanovic, department head of physics, astronomy and materials science, recently participated in the Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) 2020 Conference. 

The conference took place virtually Nov. 2-6. 

Mayanovic presented a talk titled “Investigations of materials under extreme hydrothermal conditions using synchrotron and complementary techniques” at the event. 

“In the presentation, I shared results from experiments that could apply to conserving energy,” Mayanovic said. “They could also support providing ceramics with the ability to resist corrosion.”
