PhD candidates Victoria Christensen, Scott Berens and Isaac Duan traveled with Professors Frank Zok, Matt Begley and Carlos Levi as well as Shingo Kanazawa (IHI, currently stationed at UCSB) to participate in a 3-day workshop with researchers at IHI Japan. The workshop builds on a longstanding research collaboration between UCSB and IHI focused on ceramic composites and environmental barrier coatings.
