An NSF Science and Technology Center advancing the nation's science and technology agenda through the development of new materials and material systems
Develops new advanced and functional multiphase complex materials and optimizes the performance of existing ones by integrating the most advanced experimental and computational capabilities.
The main goal of this proposal is to understand the fundamental mechanisms of electronic and thermal breakdowns in multilayer films (MLFs) and develop viable approaches to further enhance their breakdown strength and lifetime.
The vision of the proposed ERC is to establish a team of academic and industrial researchers to define, develop and deploy solutions to the most urgent problems associated with the global polymeric materials packaging industry.
There is a critical need to integrate computation modeling into nanomedical engineering approaches to provide a platform for the rational design of clinically effective nanomedicines. To address this need, the team will use computational modeling at the mesoscale to model and optimize blood floor and vascular wall adhesion of functionalized non-axisymmetric nanocarriers as a function of their size, shape, surface chemicstry and particle modulus.
