Early life and education

edit

Schoenung was an undergraduate student in Chicago, where she studied materials science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.[1] She moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology for graduate studies, earning a Master's degree in 1985 and a PhD in 1987. Her doctoral research considered an economic assessment of ceramics for automotive engines.[2] After earning her doctorate Schonung moved to California. She joined California State Polytechnic University in 1989.[citation needed]

Research and career

edit

Schonung moved to the University of California, Davis. She was appointed to the faculty at the University of California, Irvine in 2015.[citation needed] She is interested in nanostructured materials and green engineering processes. To generate nanostructures in functional materials, Schoenung makes use of cryomilling. Cryomilling can improve the oxidation behaviour of thermal barrier coatings as well as generating boron carbide reinforced aluminium nanocomposites. Green engineering processes are safer for the environment; they are less energy demanding, generate less pollution and do not release toxic chemicals. In particular, Schoenung is interested in the problem of electronic-waste and the infrastructure required for e-waste recycling.[3]

Her research considers the factors that surround decision making in materials selection, with a particular focus on sustainability.[4] She combines life-cycle assessment with management theory and environmental economics.

In 2008, Schoenung was appointed to the Green Ribbon Science Panel, a group of researchers appointed by Arnold Schwarzenegger to protect Californians from toxic chemicals.[5][6]
