Dr. Kenneth Sandhage is the Reilly Professor of Materials Engineering at Purdue University. He received a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering with highest distinction from Purdue University and a Ph.D. in Ceramics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Sandhage group has pioneered the development of novel, shape-preserving, reaction-based processes for generating materials with tailored chemistries and macro-to-nanoscale structures for energy, environmental, transportation, defense, and medical applications.
