Lisa Rueschhoff

Lisa Mae Rueschhoff is an American materials scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory, where she specializes in the additive manufacturing of fiber-reinforced ceramics for the extreme environments encountered in aerospace applications.[1]

Education and career

Rueschhoff is originally from Omaha, Nebraska.[2] She majored in materials engineering at Iowa State University, graduating in 2013.[3] She completed a Ph.D. in 2017 at Purdue University. Her dissertation was Ceramic Near-Net Shaped Processing Using Highly-Loaded Aqueous Suspensions. [2]

After completing her Ph.D., she joined the Air Force Research Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher.[2] She later became a permanent staff member and senior materials research engineer.[4]

Recognition

With her Air Force Research Laboratory colleague Matthew Dickerson, Rueschhoff was the recipient of the laboratory's Charles J. Charles J. Cleary Scientific Achievement Award in 2023.[1]

The Purdue University School of Engineering gave Rueschhoff their 38 by 38 award, given annually to 38 alumni, in 2025. She is a 2025 recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.[4]

Personal life
