Jayme Keist received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. He earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. As a graduate student, he worked within the Lawrence Scholar Program with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on characterization of energy storage and energy scavenging systems. He joined the Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State in 2013. His research centers on materials characterization of metals, composites, and ceramics fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM), focusing on quantifying structure-property relationships.
This faculty member is associated with the Penn State Intercollege Graduate Degree Program (IGDP) in Materials Science and Engineering (MatSE) where a multitude of perspectives and cross-disciplinary collaboration within research is highly valued. Graduate students in the IGDP in MatSE may work with faculty members from across Penn State.
