معرفی
Marcia Cooper is Associate Professor and Gulf Oil/Thomas A. Dietz Career Development Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University's College of Engineering, with affiliations in Materials Science & Engineering. She earned her Ph.D. from Caltech (2004) and researches heterogeneous materials, dynamic responses in extreme environments, and energetic materials behavior.
Her work examines shock/detonation physics, high-velocity impact, and diagnostic techniques like laser velocimetry. Current projects investigate granular material compaction, polymer-particle composites, and energetic material safety. Research utilizes advanced imaging and computational modeling to understand mesoscale material behavior.
Awards include SPOT Award for Leadership (2019), Employee Recognition Award (2011), and Outstanding Women at Sandia recognition (2009).
