Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science Faculty Spotlight Jan Schroers Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science Jan Schroers's research areas include micro & nano Replication, MEMS materials & processes, amorphous metallic foams, bulk metallic glasses, bio-medical applications, net-shaping processing methods incorporating a wide range of length scales, and thermo plastic forming. The Schroers Lab is concerned with materials and their structure-processing-property relationship. News Study brings a new twist (and valuable properties) to materials science In recent years, researchers have learned that twisting certain materials at specific angles can form what are known as “moiré materials,” which elicit previously undiscovered properties. more »
