Nix (Von Hippel Award, Materials Research Society 2007) – arguably, the father of the famed “smaller is stronger” discovery. During his doctoral candidacy, Dr. Budiman received several research awards and contributed to several high-impact journal publications. He gave two symposium-invited talks in MRS (Materials Research Society) Spring and then Fall meetings of 2006 as a graduate student. He was then the recipient of the prestigious Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Director’s Research Fellow Award in 2009 to conduct top strategic research for the energy and national security missions of the Los Alamos National Laboratory’s as a postdoctoral research fellow. Dr. Budiman is at the forefront of mechanics research where the classical worlds of mechanics intersect with the new realms of nanomaterials (nanolayers, nanopillars, etc.) or additively manufactured materials opening up exciting possibilities and startling novel technologies in the next generations of engineering systems and devices (energy, electronics and solar photovoltaics). Utilizing the one-of-a-kind, powerful high spatial resolution white-beam capabilities of the synchrotron-based submicron X-ray diffraction to elucidate unique behaviors of nanoscale and advanced materials, Dr. Budiman is one of the world’s leading experts in mechanics and reliability of advanced/nanoscale materials and cutting-edge semiconductor/energy device
