Dr.
Kennedy received her BS (2002) and MS (2003) in Materials Science
and Engineering from Washington State University. As a Sandia
Excellence in Engineering Fellow, she earned her PhD (2007)
in Materials Science from Washington State University. Dr. Kennedy
is active as an ASM member, helping found Materials Radio, as
well as sitting on the ASM Board of Trustees.
Research
Dr.
Kennedy’s research interests include:
•Quantitative measurement of interfacial adhesion energy
•Environmental testing of nanoscale composites
-Nanomechanics of mechanical failure in corrosive or aggressive
environments
•Integration of nanoindentation and AFAM for testing non-uniform
materials
•Dislocation nucleation in thin metallic films
