Irene Jane Beyerlein (born November 1971) is an American materials scientist who is the Mehrabian Interdisciplinary Endowed Chair at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is a Fellow of the Materials Research Society.

Early life and education

Beyerlein was born in Los Alamos, New Mexico.[1] She completed undergraduate studies at Clemson University. After her junior year she realized that she was interested mathematics and materials, and decided to major in mechanical engineering.[2] She moved to Cornell University for graduate studies, where she studied fibrous composites.[3] After earning her doctorate, Beyerlein joined the Los Alamos National Laboratory as a J. R. Oppenheimer Fellow.[4] She spent three years as a research fellow before being appointed to the faculty at the LANL.[2]

Research and career

Beyerlein worked as a theorist at Los Alamos National Laboratory for several years, where she was co-director of the Energy Frontiers Research Center.[5] In 2016, Beyerlein joined the University of California, Santa Barbara.[5]

Beyerlein's research considers the design of materials that can withstand extreme conditions, including high stress, temperature and strain.[6] She has studied how plastic deformations propagate through materials and how strain localization can give rise to the initiation of slip bands.[6] She is particularly interested in how lightweight materials that can improve fuel economy in aircraft.[7][8]

Beyerlein is the editor of Scripta Materialia[4] and on the editorial board of Acta Materialia.[9] In 2019, Beyerlein was recognized as a Brimacombe Medalist by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society for her "groundbreaking work on the plasticity of HCP metals and metal nanocomposites as well as for her commitment to mentorship of the next generation of materials scientists."[10][11]

To date, Beyerlein has published over 500 academic manuscripts, and has been cited over 20,000 times, resulting in an h-index and i10-index of 82 and 301 respectively.[12]
