Peter C. Collins joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Iowa State University in July, 2015. Dr. Pete Collins received his undergraduate degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla, and his MS and PhD from The Ohio State University in Materials Science and Engineering. Prior to joining ISU , Dr. Collins served as a faculty member and undergraduate coordinator in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of North Texas. Dr. Collins has also spent time standing-up a not-for-profit 501-3© manufacturing laboratory, and regularly engages with both industry and the government. His experiences and interests involve the practical and theoretical treatments of microstructure-property relationship, with an extension into composition-microstructure-property relationships derived for complex multi-phase, multi-component engineering alloys. He has extensive experience in participating in large industrial programs, has conducted studies into novel metal matrix composites, and has significant research experience with additive manufacturing techniques, and combinatorial materials science. Dr. Collins is an active member of TMS , past chairman of the ICME committee, member of the Titanium committee, and a member of the Materials Processing and Manufacturing Division. In recent years, Collins and his group have been actively involved in developing and building new types of instrumentation and experiments. These include developing the first 3D SRAS (spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy) microscope, bicombinatorial techniques, reduced-cost wire-fed metal AM systems, and other techniques aimed at characterizing defects in additive manufactured materials.

Fri 28 Mar 13:00: Democratizing Carbon Markets: A Blockchain-Based Emission Trading System for Small and Large-Scale Stakeholders in Brazil
Abstract
The integration of blockchain technology into carbon markets offers a unique opportunity to create more transparent, inclusive, and efficient trading mechanisms. This presentation introduces a novel Blockchain Emission Trading System (BETS) model designed to align with Brazil’s new carbon market legislation (Law 15042/2024), ensuring that both large landholders and small rural producers can participate fairly. Our approach leverages official land registries, such as SICAR , to create spatially and temporally verifiable carbon credits, preventing fraud and double counting while enabling greater accessibility for smaller stakeholders who often struggle to enter regulated markets. By decentralizing the issuance and trading of carbon credits, our model aims to reduce intermediaries, lower costs, and promote broader participation, ultimately fostering a more equitable environmental and economic transition. Through a systematic mapping study, we identify key challenges and research directions for blockchain-based carbon markets and propose a framework that ensures compliance with national and international standards while prioritizing social and economic inclusivity.
