Scalable and affordable synthesis and processing of materials are fundamental for their facile implementation. Our faculty is at the forefront of the synthesis and processing of a wide range of materials that can bring new technologies to fruition. Research topics range from high-entropy and shape memory alloys, damage, heat and oxidation tolerant ceramics to self-healing and damage tolerant polymers and novel 2D materials.
