Bioinspired and Multifunctional Materials Systems and Structures
The bioinspired and multifunctional materials systems and structures research supergroup (BI(MS)2) is focused on:
- Seeding collaborative research in bioinspired and multifunctional materials systems and structures
- Initiating and promoting authentic and sustainable research collaborations that address emergent scientific and engineering topics in bioinspired multifunctional systems.
BI(MS)2 covers a broad range of interdisciplinary research from design, synthesis and processing of engineered responsive materials to multiscale modeling and characterization of their complex and coupled multifunctional responses and the advanced manufacturing of multi-materials multifunctional systems.
