Jason Trelewicz

Jason Trelewicz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Stony Brook University and recently transitioned to become an IACS core faculty member. Prof. Trelewicz’s research is on the science of interface engineered alloys with particular emphasis on high-strength and radiation-tolerant nanomaterials for extreme environment applications.  His research group, the Engineered Metallic Nanostructures Laboratory, couples novel processing techniques and in situ characterization tools with large-scale atomistic simulations in the design of hierarchically structured metallic alloys.  Materials including solute-stabilized nanocrystalline alloys, crystalline-amorphous nanolaminates, and metallic glass matrix composites are synthesized through electroforming, sputter and pulsed laser deposition, and additive manufacturing techniques, and used to build a new understanding of mechanisms responsible for thermal stability, mechanical behavior, and radiation damage.  Prof. Trelewicz received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008. Prior to joining the faculty at Stony Brook University, he spent four years in industry as a Principal Investigator at MesoScribe Technologies, Inc. responsible for managing technology development and transition on over a dozen DOD, DOE, and NASA research programs.  Professor Trelewicz is a recipient of the 2017 DOE Early Career Award for “Enhancing the Performance of Plasma-facing Materials Through Solute-stabilized Nanostructured Tungsten Alloys” and the 2016 NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for “Interface Engineered Amorphous Alloys for Thermoplastic Forming of Ductile Bulk Metallic Glasses”.
