Dr. Mark A. Tschopp is an assistant research professor in the Computational Manufacturing and Design group within the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems at Mississippi State University. Prior to coming to MSU, Mark received his BS (1998) and MS (1999) in metallurgical engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla. His DOE-funded MS thesis research examined pyrolysis defects in the aluminum lost foam casting process (advisor: Dr. Donald Askeland). After 4 years at GM Powertrain in the Advanced Materials Development Center (AMDC) and Casting Development and Validation Center (CDVC), Mark returned to academia in 2003 to obtain his doctorate in materials science and engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. His dissertation was funded through an NSF graduate fellowship and researched dislocation nucleation in single crystals and grain boundaries. In association with his graduate research, Mark received the Luther Long award in 2007 (awarded to one student in AE, CE, ME, MSE @ GT based on research) and the Sigma Xi Award for best dissertation in 2008 (awarded to five students, GT campus-wide). In 2007, Mark accepted a position as a visiting research scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratories in the Behavior and Life Prediction group, where he worked on experimental and computational projects related to microstructure-mechanics relationships in nickel-based superalloys. At CAVS, Mark has been involved in research related to nanoscale interactions in polymer systems, nuclear materials (Fe, steel alloys, Zr), and lightweight automotive materials (Mg/Al); experimental damage evolution in Al/Mg alloys; 2D/3D microstructure characterization and reconstruction; engineering design of nanoscale material models; sub-continuum uncertainty quantification; and crashworthiness simulations.
