Material microstructure characterization
My laboratory features an X-ray micro-computed-tomography (X-ray CT) instrument with multiple load frames for in situ characterization of various materials during deformation. Using this instrument, we can identify how the microstructure of materials deforms and fails under external loading conditions. We can also perform this characterization post-mortem using X-ray CT or electron microscopy (SEM). We have extensive experience studying metals, ceramics, rocks, and powders using these instruments.
About Johns Hopkins University
Johns Hopkins University is a comprehensive private research university headquartered in Baltimore with a large research enterprise and a culture of discovery and translation. Integrated with a major academic health system, the university offers access to clinicians, patient populations, biorepositories, and audited trial operations. A research park near the medical campus, plus startup incubators and corporate engagement teams, enable co-location, pilots, and fast iteration. A major university‑affiliated research center expands applied R&D and prototyping capacity, and proximity to Washington, DC links partners to federal agencies and regulators. Research is supported by federal funding from NIH, NSF, DoD, and others, and a dedicated technology transfer office manages IP, licensing, and startup formation.
