Dr. Sean Brossia |
Dr. Sean Brossia has joined CC Technologies
as Director of Research. Sean has over 13 years experience
in investigating the corrosion behavior of iron, nickel,
titanium, and aluminum based alloys in aqueous and non-aqueous
systems. He has co authored nearly 50 technical publications
and has filed six patent applications in these areas. He
presently is focused on applied corrosion and materials research
in support of a wide range industries including pipeline,
oil and gas, energy generation, automotive/aerospace, and
biomedical.
Prior to joining CC Technologies, he was
the manager of the Environmental Performance of Materials
Section at Southwest Research Institute. There, he was involved
in numerous projects related to the development of corrosion
and corrosivity sensors, evaluation of coatings and paints,
failure analyses, and long-term life prediction of high level
nuclear waste container materials. He was also involved with
corrosion, stress corrosion, and integrity issues associated
with oil and gas exploration equipment and microbially influenced
corrosion. Before joining Southwest Research, Sean was involved
in new stainless steel alloy development, metallic coatings,
intergranular corrosion of weldments, and surface treatments
for stainless steels at Armco, Inc.
Dr. Brossia is the recipient of the Allan
Talbot Gwathmey Award for most outstanding Ph.D. dissertation
in the physical sciences and engineering at the University
of Virginia in 1997 and the 1998 Morris Cohen Award from
the Corrosion Division of the Electrochemical Society. He
has held several positions on NACE committees including Corrosion
Science and Technology Coordinator, chair of Corrosion Testing
and Monitoring committee, and is a member of both the policy
and public affairs committees. In addition, he is a vice
chair of the Corrosion of Metals committee at ASTM. In addition
he is an active member in the Electrochemical Society.
