Our faculty are working on challenging problems of developing materials for biomedical, energy, and environmental applications, as well as materials that withstand extreme temperature, pressure, and provide impact protection. Research also encompasses the development of new additive manufacturing techniques and developing re-processable, environmentally benign materials for a sustainable future.
