Dr. Aaron Stebner

Biography

Aaron Stebner is an Associate Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech, specializing in the intersection of manufacturing, machine learning, and materials mechanics. He has extensive experience in developing new characterization and data analysis capabilities aimed at advancing the understanding of deformation in manufacturing materials and integrating data informatics with machine learning to accelerate the discovery and optimization of mechanical models and manufacturing processes. Stebner's research focuses on four primary thrust areas, including additive manufacturing, optimizing new materials, and the development of new data management platforms for high-throughput characterization. He has a strong background in mechanics, particularly with low-symmetry heterogeneous structures that exhibit unusual thermomechanical behaviors. His previous roles include being an Associate Professor at the Colorado School of Mines, postdoctoral scholar at Caltech, and a lecturer at Northwestern University. Stebner's research also encompasses the development of shape memory alloys (SMAs), tribology applications, and biomedical implants, with programs that explore materials for the International Space Station and other advanced technologies.
