The Composite Materials and Mechanics Laboratory (CMML) specializes in the science and technology of advanced lightweight composite materials. More recently, the research has been focused on additive manufacturing methods and manufacturing security. In addition, the lab is also interested in developing materials characterization methods and using machine learning for materials characterization.
CMML is supported by the National Science Foundation, The National Academies, and industry. The past research support includes the Office of Naval Research, Army Research Laboratory, National Institute of Health and other agencies.
