Dr. Linda S.
Schadler joined Rensselaer in 1996. She graduated
from Cornell University in 1985 with a B.S. in materials
science and engineering and received a PhD in materials
science and engineering in 1990 from the University
of Pennsylvania. After two years of post-doctoral work
at IBM Yorktown Heights, Schadler served as a faculty
member at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA before
coming to Rensselaer. Dr. Schadler is a current member
of the National Materials Advisory Board. She serves
on numerous professional committees including the Advisory
Board to the TMS Board of Directors. She is the education
and outreach coordinator for the National Science Foundation’s
Center “Directed Assembly of Nanostructures”
headquartered at Rensselaer and is active in the recruitment
and retention of underrepresented groups in engineering.
Active in materials research for more than 12 years,
Schadler is an experimentalist and her research has
focused on the micromechanical behavior of two-phase
systems, primarily polymer composites. Recently her
interests have broadened and she has several projects
on the mechanical and electrical behavior of nanofilled
polymer composites. Schadler has co-authored more than
60 publications. Dr. Schadler received a National Science
Foundation National Young Investigator award in 1994
and the ASM International Bradley Staughton Award for
Teaching in 1997. She received a Dow Outstanding New
Faculty member award from the American Society of Engineering
Education in 1998. |
