New York, NY 10027
Research Interests
Materials characterization, cementitious materials, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, experimental mechanics of materials, contact mechanics, viscoelasticity.Will Hunnicutt joined the staff of the Carleton Laboratory as Manager in 2018 after completing his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he focused on measurement of viscoelastic properties of calcium-(aluminum)-silicate-hydrate using nanoindentation. Will's research interests lie at the intersection of materials characterization and experimental mechanics, with a focus on cementitious materials.
