  Our goal is to devise the design, characterization/modeling, and efficient fabrication of novel materials for their utilization in harsh environments such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedical. In doing so, principles of nanotechnology are utilized in material design while primarily nondestructive testing techniques are employed for characterization and modeling of newly devised and fabricated materials.
