Biography

Jessica A. Krogstad received her BS with Honors in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 2007 and her PhD in Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara with Prof. Carlos G. Levi in 2012. Her doctoral work explored phase evolution and structural stability in zirconia-based thermal barrier coatings. In 2012, she began a postdoctoral appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Kevin J. Hemker. There she focused on the exploration of high temperature metallic systems for MEMS applications and high temperature micro-mechanical testing for experimental validation of multi-scale damage models of superalloy and composite materials in the spirit of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME). She joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an Assistant Professor in August 2014.

Professional Highlights

• Jessica A. Krogstad is an associate professor in the Department of Material Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She received her PhD in Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara working with Prof. Carlos G. Levi and completed a postdoctoral at Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Kevin J. Hemker before joining UIUC in 2014. Her current research explores the interplay between phase or morphological evolution and material functionality in structural materials under extreme conditions. She is the recipient of a several awards including DOE Early Career Award, the ACerS Robert L. Coble Award for Young Scholars and the TMS Early Career Faculty Fellow Award.

Teaching Statement

Prof. Krogstad has taught MSE206: Statics for MatSE, MSE440: Advanced Mechanical Behavior and is currently teaching MSE580: Diffraction Physics for Materials for the first time.

Research Statement

Our group focuses on understanding materials in nonequilibrium configurations and the evolution thereof, so as to generate and optimize unique functionality for operation in dynamic and extreme environments. Today, continued advancement in transportation, communication, energy conversion, and many other critical technologies relies on performance of materials, often under harsh conditions where chemistry, scale and morphology may change significantly over the coarse of operation.  Understanding how traditional design criteria evolve in these environments is vital not only for lifecycle and failure analysis, but once understood, these can be used to improve performance or develop alternative material systems.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities

We are always looking for talented and dedicated undergraduate researchers to participate in our research, but the best time to start is in the fall semester. Successful students are often characterized as having excellent time management skills, good communication skills, the ability to learn independently and to work well in small groups. It is also especially important that undergraduate researchers are safety conscious and are willing to ask questions, no matter how trivial they may seem. Students interested in data processing, especially image analysis, are of particular interest right now.
