Dr. Julia E. Medvedeva, professor of physics, co-authored an article published in the Materials Research Society Bulletin that outlines the experts’ community vision for “Materials Laboratories of the Future for Alloys, Amorphous and Composite Materials.”
The publication stems from a National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research workshop that brought together experts to identify scientific and technological challenges in materials research over the next decade. It outlines the needs for instrumentation, infrastructure and workforce development across U.S. universities and national laboratories.
The publication serves as the experts’ guide for upcoming NSF’s upcoming Materials Innovation Platforms (MIP) program, a mid-scale infrastructure initiative launching in May. MIP will support interdisciplinary teams with proposal budgets up to $30 million to advance research in alloys, amorphous materials and composites through access to cutting-edge tools.
