Danielle Cote
After graduating from UNH with a chemical engineering degree in 2005, Danielle Cote worked as a researcher at Saint-Gobain in the Northboro Research and Development Center in polymer science and data automation. Cote continued working while she pursued a master’s degree at WPI, followed by a PhD fellowship, and joined the WPI faculty in 2016.
Today Professor Cote’s research focuses on the development of materials for high deposition rate metal additive manufacturing techniques, such as cold spray and wire arc additive manufacturing.
Professor Cote has been awarded more than $25 million for her research and is a recipient of numerous awards for research and teaching, including several early career research awards, highlighted by a NASA Early Career Faculty Award.
She incorporates her research into her graduate and undergraduate teaching, including an undergraduate course “Introduction to Materials Science” and a graduate course “Phase Transformations in Materials.”
Professor Cote serves on a number of WPI committees, several The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS) committees, and committees for the American Society for Metals (ASM). She has served as an instructor for WPI Frontiers, a summer pre-college program, and hosted high school interns in her laboratory, in addition to other community outreach efforts.
Professor Cote has served on several DEI committees focusing on supporting women in STEM, including specific efforts to increase the retention rate of women in materials science professions. She has given numerous presentations and hosted panels on “Creating a welcoming technical workplace” for groups at WPI, international professional societies, and large corporations.
