Bryan Webler is an Associate Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University and a faculty member in the Center for Iron and Steelmaking Research (CISR). He received a B.S. in Engineering Physics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2005 and a M.S. (2007) and Ph.D. (2008) in Materials Science and Engineering from Carnegie Mellon. His PhD work was with CISR, studying the copper-induced hot shortness of steel. From 2008 to 2013, he was a Senior Engineer in the Materials Technology Department of the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, studying corrosion resistance and mechanical behavior of stainless steels and nickel-base alloys. Dr. Webler joined the Carnegie Mellon faculty in 2013. His research interests are in the reactions between metals and their environment, both during processing and in-service. He also teaches classes on phase transformations, computational thermodynamics, and corrosion/oxidation of metals. Dr. Webler serves as Materials Advantage faculty advisor at Carnegie Mellon and is active in the Association for Iron and Steel Technology, serving as the current chair of the Metallurgy – Steelmaking and Casting Committee and teaching the “Making, Shaping, and Treating of Steel: 101” course. He was awarded the Kent D. Peaslee Junior Faculty Award from AIST in 2015 and is currently an AIST Foundation Steel Professor.
