Our Vision
Through multidisciplinary collaboration, the MEE team will facilitate the design of structures, vehicles, and personnel gear to survive current and future extreme environments and to defeat emerging threats from hypersonic weapons. In order to best serve national interests, the MEE team will offer accessible research facilities/capabilities and innovative computational resources to a variety of university, industry, and government partners to revolutionize survivability of materials and structures.
Our Mission
The MEE group, a team of world-class researchers, develops and employs state-of-the-art facilities to perform transformational in situ and forensic dynamic materials/structures testing and multiscale analysis. Such experimentation and analysis enable researchers to tailor materials microstructures and chemistries for optimal response in extreme environments (materials by design), develop critical structural concepts to provide protection overmatch from blast/shock, and inform/validate dynamic multiscale materials models.
