    "My passion for Materials Science and Engineering developed as I studied and took particular interest in my chemistry and engineering classes as well as working in the lab alongside many Doctorate Materials Engineers. My passion for Aerospace has always been second nature – my curiosity has innately been embedded in my interests, just a few: planes, planets, astronauts, and the extraterrestrial unknown. Sally Ride has always been a role model for me and so working for Northrop Grumman allowed for both my passions and interests to collide."

    Welcome to ASM Gabe Helmke!!

    Gabe recently joined ASM after attending a class at our headquarters, Metallographic Techniques. As he transitions into his role as a Metallurgist, he finds sample preparation (mounting, grinding, polishing) to be the most enjoyable task. He had a great experience utilizing the skills and recommendations he received while attending the class in August. Connect with Gabe on ASM CONNECT today.

    And if you want to attend a class at the ASM dome - check out our course offerings!

    Welcome to ASM - @HAOZHI ZHANG!!

    "My foray into the material science world was sparked by a micrograph I encountered in my uncle's office when I was young. This micrograph depicted an exquisite snowflake-like microstructure underneath a seemingly unremarkable rust-ridden appearance of metal. The ability to delve into the micro-scale realm and gain insights into materials' inherent properties and behaviors has been a lifelong fascination, sowing the seeds of my commitment to the field."
