Thomas Mann, graduated from Purdue University with his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering in 2023. His graduate work was funded by Haynes International with focus on the deformation mechanisms of the HAYNES 244 alloy. After graduating, he accepted a position as a staff research engineer at Haynes, focusing on alloy development for high-temperature applications.

Michael Fahrmann, I received my professional training as a physicist in Germany. A fellowship of the German Alexander v. Humboldt Foundation afforded me in 1992 to come to the United States as a visiting scholar at Carnegie Mellon University to study model superalloys. Since 1997, I have been working in various roles in industrial superalloys research, more recently at Haynes International in Kokomo, Indiana, in the capacity as manager, Product Research & Development.

Michael S. Titus is an Associate Professor at the School of Materials Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA. Prior to joining Purdue University in 2016, he earned his B.S. in Engineering Physics at The Ohio State University (2010) and Ph.D. in Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara (2015). From 2015 to 2016, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research in Düsseldorf, Germany. His current areas of research include elucidating fundamental deformation mechanisms in high-temperature alloys, deploying high-throughput computational and experimental approaches to accelerate alloy design, and high-temperature environmental degradation of alloys. He has co-authored over 45 peer-reviewed publications and has supervised 10 Ph.D. and master's thesis students.
