Calvin obtained his M.S. degree in 2021 from UCI’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, under Enrique J. Lavernia’s guidance, and is now pursuing a PhD in the same department. His research within the ACRC is backed by the UCI Center for Complex and Active Materials (CCAM), an NSF MRSEC. Calvin investigates refractory complex concentrated alloys (RCCAs), focusing on the impact of grain boundary segregation of impurities like oxygen, carbon, and boron on the ductilization of NbMoTaW RCCA. Outside of academia, Calvin enjoys cycling, driving, camping, and fly fishing.
