@PillaLab is pleased to welcome new Ph.D. student Trent Randles, who comes to us with 8 yrs of experience in the automotive industry. Trent has an M.S. in Industrial Engr from @ClemsonUniv and B.S. in Engr Tech Mgmt from @USCUpstate. Trent's research will focus on Industry 4.0.

[Pilla Research Lab @PillaLab]

Many congratulations to Dr. @Saiaditya for a successful Ph.D. dissertation defense! His outstanding dissertation research was on lightweight foams for automotive applications. He becomes the 10th Ph.D. graduate of @pillalab. Well done!

[Clemson Composites Center @ClemsonCompCtr]

@ClemsonCompCtr now has a proprietary injection molding tool that can control pressure, temperature & thickness of molded parts while integrating with in-mold sensors, adding to our ever expanding capabilities in injection molding, foam injection molding and Industry 4.0.

[Pilla Research Lab @PillaLab]

Congratulations to @Saiaditya for successfully defending the dissertation research proposal for PhD candidacy and also passing the doctoral comprehensive exam.

[Pilla Research Lab @PillaLab]

Extremely happy to see @Saiaditya and @laurenslann of @PillaLab be amongst those awarded by @4SPE_Plastics. Congratulations Sai and Lauren! Very proud of your achievements and for being recognized by a top plastics society. @CU_ICAR @ClemsonResearch @ClemsonCECAS
