Prof. Jamie Kruzic completed his B.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Science and Mineral Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. After three years of post-doctoral work at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, he came to Oregon State University in 2004 where he currently serves as an associate professor in both the Mechanical Engineering and the Materials Science Programs. His teaching and research focuses on the mechanical behavior of advanced materials and biomaterials, with specific emphasis on the mechanisms of fracture and fatigue. Prof. Kruzic has more than 60 publications in this field, while courses taught at OSU include "Fracture of Materials," "Mechanical Properties of Materials," "Strength of Materials," and "Dislocations, Deformation, and Creep."
Current research interests are focused on the mechanical properties (e.g. deformation, fracture, and fatigue) of advanced structural materials and biomaterials, including metals, ceramics, intermetallics, interfaces, composites, and biological materials. Prof. Kruzic was recently awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER award to fund part of his research on fatigue of materials, while other parts of his research are funded by the US Department of Energy (US-DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), The Oregon Metals Initiative (OMI), Intel Corporation, and ESCO Corporation.
