Josh Yee
Josh Yee received a BS in Materials Science and Engineering and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine in 2011. During his undergraduate studies, Josh studied the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline materials, focusing on high temperature deformation mechanisms including creep and grain boundary sliding. He also studied the processing of an aluminumdiamondoid nanoparticle composite using cryomilling. Josh is now pursuing his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering. His research focuses on processing of metals for solid state hydrogen storage, as well as using Electric Field Assisted Sintering (EFAS) to process materials for energy applications. Josh’s research interests include mechanical behavior, hydrogen in metals, processing by severe plastic deformation, sintering, and field effects in EFAS.
