EXPERIENCE
University of California, Santa Barbara – College of Engineering, Santa Barbara, CA
Research Assistant, June 2012-April 2013
Environmental barrier coating (EBC) systems consisting of multiple layers of silicates in
the YbO1.5-SiO2 system and phases in the HfO2-YbO1.5 system
Synthesized powders of rare earth silicates using co-precipitation technique and created
pellets for testing via cold isostatic press and subjecting to thermal treatment.
Determined constitution of each pellet using combination of X -ray diffraction (XRD,
Phillips XPERT) and microstructure analysis using backscattered electron imaging.
Phase equilibria were determined to aid the design of multilayer thermal/environmental
barrier coatings for SiC-based CMCs.
