Kassiani Kotsidou Assistant Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering Appointed to SVSU in 2009 Ph.D. University of Massachusetts M.S. University of Massachusetts Diploma Aristotelian University of Thessalonica, Greece
INVITED RESEARCH Kotsidou, K., Hart, B., Kline, M.M. (SVSU student), LaVigne, K.J. (SVSU student), & Schilling, C. Elastic properties from sound velocity measurements: Effects of powder metallurgical variables. The Metal Powder Industry Federation and the North American Hoganas Corporation, unfunded, on-going. In 2011, Drs. Kotsidou and Schilling were invited by the Metal Powder Industry Federation and the North American Hoganas Corporation to conduct experimental research on the use of ultrasonics to measure the effects of manufacturing process variables on the elastic properties of powder metallurgical alloys. The aforementioned organizations are providing test samples and chemical analytical services at no cost. The anticipated results are rather meaningful to the powder metallurgical industry and three publications summarizing the work to date are forthcoming. Dr. Schilling was invited to conduct this work based on his previous ultrasonics research with advanced ceramics.
