Researching Material Systems
Hello, you may remember me from my last blog but my name is Andy Trimmer and I work in the Materials Systems technology group at GE Global Research. The Materials Systems technology group is an exciting place to work because of the array of people with different scientific backgrounds developing and refining ideas, processes, and new technologies for the GE businesses. The blog I edit will highlight the work of researchers from Materials Systems.
The following is a brief preview of the blog content we intend to post:
- Developments for imaging equipment and contrasting agents for predictive and preventative care supporting the Healthcare business.
- Materials innovations and advanced manufacturing and inspection techniques that will proliferate usage of cleaner energy sources and increase the efficiency of existing installed equipment. For example composite materials for wind turbines and jet engines, media and manufacture of reverse osmosis membranes for water purification, and technology advances associated with researching and manufacturing batteries and solar collectors – just to name a few.
Labs in Materials Systems technologies support the industrial GE businesses, I think this blog will have a range of threads that will interest everyone, not just people in technology fields. Please stop by often and let us know your thoughts.
Applied research in the spirit of Edison’s quote: “I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others… I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent….”. (from http://thomasedison.com/quotes.html)
