Gaby Ramirez Mountaintop Experience 2023 Week 1: Circuits Reborn

Education & Learning, Undergraduates /

     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

Faculty /

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
