About
Part of the Boise State Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering, Dr. Mike Hurley studies the environmental degradation of materials through applied electrochemistry. His research mainly focuses on understanding and predicting corrosion in various complex applications and environments. Research typically involves corrosion testing, materials characterization and design, predictive modeling, and sensor development to improve performance or enable prognostic health monitoring of structures and/or materials. Results from this type of research enable improved materials life-cycle-analysis and assessment of the impact of materials selection and design choices on the natural environment.
Educational Background:
Dr. Hurley received a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2007 where he also received a B.S. in Engineering Science (1999) and a M.S. in Materials Science (2002). His PhD research under Dr. John R. Scully was entitled “Corrosion Initiation and Propagation Behavior of Candidate Corrosion Resistant Rebar Alloys”
