Position: Herman
F. Coors Distinguished Professor of Ceramic Engineering,
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department;
Director, The Colorado Center for
Advanced Ceramics
Education: BS (metallurgy) University of Notre Dame; DSc (ceramics) Massachusetts Institute of Technology Research Interests: Properties and processing of ceramics and ceramic-metal composites; dielectrics and ferrimagnetics Phone: 303-273-3437 E-Mail: dreadey@mines.edu |
"Before coming to CSM, I was chairman of the Department of Ceramic Engineering, Ohio State University. Prior to that I was a program manager in the Division of Physical Research of what is now called the Department of Energy, where I was responsible for funding research on ceramic materials in universities and national laboratories.
I have also been manager of the materials processing laboratory in the Research Division of Raytheon Company, developing electronic ceramics primarily for microwave applications, and group leader of the basic ceramics group at Argonne National Laboratory. I serve on the Materials Science Microgravity Working Group for NASA. I am past president of the American Ceramic Society.
My current research interests include gaseous and aqueous corrosion of ceramics, the effect of atmospheres on sintering, the properties of porous ceramics, processing and properties of ceramic-metal composites, ceramic-metal bonding, combustion synthesis in reactive atmospheres, the effect of gravity on gas/solid reactions, and microstructure--property relations of dielectrics and ferrimagnetics (at microwave frequencies)."
