About

Professor Michael E. McHenry is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, with courtesy appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Physics. He completed his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in 1980 and earned his Ph.D. in Electronic Materials from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988. Following his doctoral studies, he was a Directors Funded Post-Doctoral Associate at Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1988 to 1989. He joined Carnegie Mellon University in 1989 as an Assistant Professor and progressed to Associate Professor in 1992, becoming a full Professor in 1997. Prior to his academic career, he worked in the Technology Implementation Program at U.S. Steel - Lorain Works from 1980 to 1983. Professor McHenry's research focuses on magnetic materials, particularly amorphous and nanocrystalline materials for applications as soft magnets and nanocomposite alloy design for power electronic applications. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of magnetic properties of metals and alloys, and his work has been widely recognized and cited in the field. He has authored a textbook titled "Structure of Materials," published by Cambridge University Press, with a second edition released in 2012. His research excellence has been honored with the 2014 TMS Award for Research Excellence in Electronic, Magnetic and Photonic Materials Research. In addition to his research,…
