Meri Treska

Meri Treska is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) at MIT. She specializes in teaching experimental laboratory modules and conducts research focused on materials characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction, metallography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and spectroscopic methods. Her research spans corrosion, orthopedic prostheses, and battery technology. Prior to MIT, she worked at institutions in China, Italy, and Germany.

• Education: BS, MS, PhD in Physics from Tirana University, Albania (also attained Docent Universitarium rank).

Her teaching contributions include designing eight laboratory modules for MIT's undergraduate curriculum in metals, ceramics, polymers, and biomaterials. She has extensive experience in resistivity measurements, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and mechanical testing techniques like microhardness and nanoindentation.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the text. She is affiliated with MIT's DMSE department and maintains a focus on practical laboratory education and advanced materials analysis.
