In the Future Materials Laboratory, we are developing and utilizing a unique set of multiscale experimental and computational methods to study the mechanical behavior of a broad range of advanced materials, at the atomistic, micro, and macroscales.

We fabricate novel metal-graphene composites at different length scales, 3D print alloys, and fabricate nano-sized polymer fibers and sheets. In each case, we perform cutting edge experiments combined with multiscale computational studies to engineer the nano, and microstructure of the materials to obtain exceptional mechanical properties.
