关于博士. 乍得Korach
Dr. Korach is an expert in mechanical systems, manufacturing and advanced materials. His scholarly research has focused on tribology, composites and nanoscale systems. Dr. Korach has experience in the paper industry, and projects with the U.S. Department of Defense and DOE National Laboratories. 他拥有博士学位。.D. from Northwestern University and a B.S. 和M.S. from the Georgia Institute of Technology, all three in mechanical engineering.
研究
超过15年了, Chad has focused his research on measurements of micro and nanoscale properties of materials to improve durability of surfaces and interfaces and to understand mechanisms that can lead to new material development. He has conducted specific research on carbon nanotube-聚合物复合材料 and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers for environmental durability in infrastructure applications. He has also worked on improving the wear resistance of cutting tool inserts and bearings. Chad has also studied the wear resistance of human enamel and developed a model for the mechanical response, which can help bring about a reduction in enamel loss for individuals with this susceptibility.
职业生涯
I have always enjoyed trying to explore and understand how and why things work. I am always asking the next question and want to learn more. This is what inspired me to be an engineer.
最自豪的成就
When students graduate and land their first jobs as engineers! Though I’m always sad to see them leave, I’m proud that I was involved with their education and accomplishments that lead to their employment.
教学风格
When possible, I like to have an in-class activity that gets students out of their seats. 也, I enjoy connecting real-world engineering examples to what we are learning in the lecture through case studies, 视频, 或现场参观! Engineering has traditionally been a rather dry topic to teach, so whenever I can engage the students with props or activities, it breaks up the lecture and allows students to see problems from different perspectives.
工作中最棒的部分
与学生互动!
校园里最喜欢的地方
布雷斯大厅. It has great aesthetics outside and inside!
培养学生
Mount Union’s holistic view of a student that embodies a strong liberal arts background together with community involvement prepares students to be ready for real-world problems after graduation. Mount Union provides students with a broad view and critical thinking skills that set them apart from a school that is only professional degree focused.
