Seven students from the UWM Foundry Lab in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering attended CastExpo 2025, held April 12–15 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
Organized by the American Foundry Society (AFS), CastExpo is North America’s largest metalcasting trade show and technical forum, featuring cutting-edge research, industry innovations, and global networking opportunities.
Three graduate students presented their research to an audience of students, scholars and industry professionals during the technical sessions:
- Swaroop Behera
- Kaustubh Rane
- Mehran Zare
Undergraduate students Alec Buhler and Luke Malone showcased their collaborative research with the group at the IJMC-FEF Student Research Competition, a national contest for undergraduates, in which their team placed second.
Also attending were Carol Martinez, last year’s undergraduate competition winner and graduate student Omid Ghaderi.
