The Happy Corrosioneers from the 2009 Corrosion Short Course!

Click here for information on the 2010 Corrosion Short Course.




This is the 2009 Corrosion Short Course Group assembled at the Earth and Engineering Science Building at Penn State.  The lectures and the lab are held here.

The faculty in the front row include Dr. Howard Pickering and Dr. Rudy Buchheit (far left), and Dr. Jerry Frankel and Dr. Barbara Shaw (far right, Barbara's the one with the crutch!) .  Dr. Shaw is also the administrator and organizer of the Course.




Lectures are held in the E&ES Building.  In this photo, Jerry Frankel (unseen) is describing an upcoming lab session.


 


Mike Zelinsky (United Space Alliance), Tom Sanders (Bettis Atomic Power Lab), and Ben Bouffard (Bucknell University) showed up in remarkably similar polo shirts.  Veeeery suspicious!


 
   

Two Nice People...Melissa Lonn from MED Institute and Steve Wheeler from AGA Medical Corp. worked very well together despite their inherent competition.


 
   

Three Mean Guys...you wouldn't want to meet Burak Ulgut (Gamry), Earl Johns, and Jerrod Houser (both from Bettis Atomic Power Lab) in a dark alley!


 
   

Jeff Wiser from Medtronic and Ignacio Vargas from the Catholic University of Chile in Santiago work their way through the lab.  Ignacio won the award for traveling the greatest distance to attend the Course.


 
   

The Unsung Heroes of the Corrosion Short Course are the graduate students and postdocs from Penn State who organize and run the lab sessions.  Dr. Eliza Montgomery is soon headed for NASA Kennedy Space Center and John Petrilli starts medical school in the Fall at the University of South Florida.  Eliza and John both assisted the Short Course for three years.  Nick Pytel also assisted for his third Course.
