Mark L. Weaver

Dr. Mark L. Weaver is a Professor and Associate Department Head for Undergraduate Studies at the University of Alabama's College of Engineering, with adjunct appointments in Chemical and Biological Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. He directs the TriCampus Materials Science PhD Program.

• Ph.D., Materials Science and Engineering, University of Florida (1995)
• M.S., Materials Science and Engineering, University of Florida (1992)
• B.S., Metallurgical Engineering, University of Washington (1989)

His research focuses on microstructural characterization, oxidation behavior, mechanical properties, and phase transformations in advanced alloys, including high-entropy alloys and shape memory materials. Techniques like Atom Probe Tomography, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy are central to his work.

Recent publications highlight his investigations into high-entropy alloys, protective coatings, and deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline materials.

• NSF Faculty Early Career Development Award (2000-2005)

Dr. Weaver is affiliated with the Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Materials Design Integration, Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies, and other research initiatives at UA.
