.Education

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
