Jacob Nyholm Mountaintop Experience 2023 Week 1: The Start of a Journey

     Over the course of the first week, the foundations for the Metals Recycling and Sustainability project were laid. In order to promote team collaboration, I created a team folder to hold our notes, important documents, and links to helpful websites and articles. This shared space will allow us to more effectively communicate ideas and […]

Gaby Ramirez Mountaintop Experience 2023 Week 1: Circuits Reborn

     Throughout this week I focused primarily on research with E-waste recycling, specifically on recycling PCBs (printed circuit boards). During this time, I developed a better understanding of the practices that are generally used in E-waste recycling, as well as the many processes involved in recycling PCBs. By recycling PCBs, we can recover the important

Loewy Institute Joins REMADE Institute on Project to Develop Computational Tools for Weld Performance Prediction and Aluminum Extrusion Waste Reduction

Working towards sustainable metal-forming processes, the Loewy Institute has joined the REMADE Institute in a project aimed at reducing the amount of aluminum material needed for vehicles, aircraft, electrical components, and more. Certain processes–such as aluminum extrusion–cannot be replaced by other metal-forming methods, but have the ability to be further optimized and therefore use less
