Embracing its history that is deeply intertwined with the steel industry, Pittsburgh was the proud host of this year’s Association for Iron & Steel Technology annual conference, AISTech. Carnegie Mellon students and faculty were able to maximize their exposure to the topics explored throughout the meeting and to share their research with a global audience of industry leaders. 

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) faculty and student researchers from the departments of materials science and engineering (MSE) and engineering and public policy (EPP) presented at 13 technical sessions and participated in two panel discussions during the meeting, covering topics from decarbonization and sustainability to advanced metallurgy and digitalization.

LEO members Judy Park, Emily Allendorf, Zaina Merchant, and Hannah Boyles represented the group at this year's conference.
