UTSA corrosion laboratory important news.
New group of professors comes to UTSA from prestigious institutions.
Brendy Rincon Troconis, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, will head UTSA’s Corrosion Research Laboratory and brings nearly a decade of experience researching corrosion in aerospace, automobile, reinforced concrete, and oil and gas applications. She was thrilled to learn her department’s mission perfectly aligns with her personal mission and she feels that she will be able to achieve all her goals at UTSA. In fact, she’s already gotten off to a great start by receiving a $30,000 seed grant from NACE International for a research project she will conduct at UTSA.
NACE International Awards $30,000 to Support Corrosion Research.
Houston, Texas – NACE international is pleased to announce it is awarding a seed grant of $30,000 for a research project by Brendy C. Rincon Troconis of The University of Texas at San Antonio’s (UTSA) Department of Mechanical Engineering. Troconis’ proposal, “Effect of Passive Film Composition on the Electrochemical Behavior and Cracking of Corrosion Resistant Alloys Utilizing Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy,” seeks to resolve issues caused by the unique conditions of downhole applications in oil wells.
SwRI, UTSA Jointly invest in corrosion, Energy projects.
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) announced two new research projects through the Connecting through Research Partnerships (Connect) Program. Each project will receive $125,000 in funding. One project will research a new technique to mitigate cracking and corrosion in piping and related equipment used by the oil and gas industry and the other will investigate the development of a traffic management system that will be powered using sustainable thermal energy.
Researchers Develop Corrosion and Traffic Solutions.
two new research projects: a new method for mitigating cracking and corrosion in piping used by the oil and gas sectors, and a traffic management system that can be both powered by sustainable thermal energy and be implemented in areas with less access to traffic signage.
The projects will be conducted through the Connecting through Research Partnerships (Connect) Program, with each receiving $125,000 in funding.
