NEWS The Battalion I 2.3.15 3 July 31,1994-Nov. 26,2014 Sarah Anne Yager Aggie with artistic, passionate spirit to be remembered at Silver Taps By Sam King Whether she was hiking in beautiful landscapes, painting incredible vistas, playing clarinet or simply having dinner with her roommates, Sarah Yager lived life to a degree greater than words can explain. “It’s hard to put her into words,” Ka tie Tindel said. “I want to do her justice, but I know it’s not going to happen.” Tindel, a biomedical engineering ju nior and friend, said Sarah Yager was a genuinely kind person, but she knew how to joke as well. “She was just kindhearted even if she was super sarcastic,” Tindel said. Cheryl Yager, her mother, said her daughter really enjoyed her time at A&M, inside and outside the classroom. “She loved math and the engineer ing department was just so fun for her,” Cheryl Yager said. “She enjoyed math and working with teams to solve prob lems. She and some friends of hers went and just had a good time at school, but obviously worked real hard, too.” Along with being a junior in the me chanical engineering program, Sarah Yager had a creative streak. She played clarinet for three years in the A&M Sym phonic Band and painted in her free time. “I would be ridiculously impressed because she was in these ridiculously hard classes and also researching and I don’t know how she had time to do that, and read the millions of books that she read and then go rock climbing with me three times a week,” Tindel said. “She was just really generous with her time and used it on the important things. She got what was important.” Hayley Groves, Sarah Yager’s room mate and civil engineering junior, re called how she had asked her to paint something for the living room at their apartment. She jumped on the opportu nity and began work on a piece that in cluded four canvases. The scene depicted a desert landscape, and Groves said Sarah Yager’s abilities were far from lacking, al though the painting remains unfinished. “She always joked that it was never good enough, it took her forever to get it finished and she still didn’t like it, didn’t get it finished by the time we hung it up,” Groves said. “She would paint for hours, and we would talk to her while she painted.” Along with her artistic endeavors, Sarah Yager also had a sweet tooth, and Groves said she often indulged with homemade baking. “We always cooked and I would bake for her and she is infamous for eating three-fourths of the baked goods that I would make,” Groves said. “She had a huge sweet tooth. She once ate, like, 17 cupcakes in three days.” Cheryl Yager said her daughter en joyed the outdoors and they shared memories of a number of hiking trips, in cluding one at Zion National Park. Sarah Yager liked the park and a spot called Angels Landing so much that she talked a group of friends into taking a return trip last summer. PROVIDED Tindel accompanied Sarah Yager on that trip, and remembered her enthusi asm for their common interest. “She kind of planned the whole thing, like I helped her a little bit, but she took the initiative and I was so glad to have somebody like that who would go do crazy things with me like drive all the way to Utah three days after finals to go hiking in the middle of nowhere,” Tin- del said. Cheryl Yager said although Sarah stretched herself in lots of different di rections, she remained grounded. “Some of it was just for personal ful fillment, but she did, she had so much energy and so much passion for life, and when she was enthusiastic about some thing, it was very contagious,” Cheryl Yager said. GRANT CONTINUED of potential applications, but it is not easily manufactured,” Elwany said. “One major challenge is that there is very high variability. You use the same raw material, the same machine to produce the same parts and then you get differ ent parts over and over again. This research is mainly con cerned with trying to reduce this variability.” NASA awarded the team’s proposal this month with the $500,000 grant through its SpaceTech-REDDI re search initiative, a program launched by the agency to study smarter materials for space flight. Elwany, Arroy- ave and third team member Ibrahim Karaman will use the money to hire doctorate stu dents and purchase advanced instruments to study the manufacturing process, ac cording to a press release by the College of Engineering. Elwany has already used some of the money to pur chase an advanced tempera ture sensor from Stratonics, Inc. that is being installed this week and should help the team study what causes the variability in the mate rial. Looking to the future, Elwany said the research will likely need more grants down the road. “We are wrapping up a follow-up proposal that we will present to the National Science Foundation,” Elwa ny said. “Now we are charac terizing the material, we are reducing the variability. Next we will produce actual parts for use.” Elwany said he believes that no matter the cost, the work they are doing is worthwhile. “This is one of the futures of this country,” Elwany said. “We are trying to foster this advanced manufacturing. ” ' JDHseoveJKteseaix^li.
