Rodney W. Trice

Rodney W. Trice's research focuses on high-temperature ceramic materials, including silicon nitride, silicon carbide, zirconia, and carbon/carbon composites, for applications such as radar windows, thermal protection systems for hypersonic flight, and heat exchangers. His work combines materials processing techniques like slip casting, injection molding, and additive manufacturing (3D printing/extrusion) with studies of mechanical, dielectric, and thermal properties of ceramics and ceramic matrix composites. Prospective students would likely work on ceramic materials design, processing, and testing for extreme-environment engineering applications.

Publication output has remained fairly steady at around 3-4 papers per year over the last decade, with a notable spike to 9 publications in 2023.
