more »Portrait of Ryan Berke. Dr. Ryan Berke, an expert in materials testing for extreme environments, focuses on how materials behave under high temperatures and extreme conditions. His work helps improve materials used in aerospace, nuclear, and energy systems by studying fracture, fatigue, and other failure mechanisms. Dr. Berke encourages students to view research as a marathon, not a sprint. “The whole point of research is to solve problems that nobody has ever solved before, and that takes time,” he says. His mentorship guides students through the steep learning curve of research, helping them build the skills needed to achieve meaningful outcomes. Through his advanced lab techniques and dedication to student mentorship, Dr. Berke continues to make strides in improving materials for challenging environments.
