Their visit to HEMI demonstrated how a Department of Defense (DoD) laboratory collaborates with an academic university.
JSTI is a two-week, fully-funded, residential STEM research program for current high school students in the United States and DoD schools around the world. Students participate in research projects mentored by DoD research scientists and other subject matter experts. The purpose of the program is to inspire and encourage students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields, increase STEM literacy, and expose students to the importance of STEM through hands-on, relevant research. For more information on JSTI, visit https://orise.orau.gov/jsti/default.htm.

Our group is awarded a R21/R33 grant from the National Institute of Health!
Our proposal entitled “Self-Unfolding RV-PA 3D Printed Conduits” will utilize 3D printing to design and develop a novel RV-PA conduit that increases its size via tailored self-unfolding triggered by flow and time so that fewer complications as well as surgeries are required to maintain and develop normal pulmonary blood flow from infancy to adulthood. It is envisioned that 3D printing will also allow for improved precision in patient customization and on-demand design changes to enable better functionality. We anticipate that self- unfolding mechanisms and associated shape changes will result in operation of the conduits over longer periods of infant and child growth into adulthood.
It is joint efforts by Prof. David Gracias (PI, ChemBE), Prof. Lewis Romer (co-PI, JHMI), Prof. Narutoshi Hibino (co-PI, JHMI) and our group.

Our group is awarded the first grant from the National Science Foundation through Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer Our Future program (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505073) for a collaborative project with Profs. Vicky Nguyen, Kevin Hemker, Mark Robbins, and Peter Olmsted!
http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1628974
This Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer Our Future (DMREF) grant will provide new scientific understanding of the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process and its effect on the underlying molecular structure and properties of 3D-printed polymers. 3D-printing is driving a paradigm shift in the design and manufacturing of objects both in every day life and in high-tech applications. The integration with computer-aided design allows printed parts to be customized quickly and inexpensively to meet unique specifications and provide new functionalities. FFF is the most widely used and fastest growing 3D process and FFF printers dominate the growing desktop 3D printing market, driven by the low cost and relative simplicity of the printer construction and wide availability of feedstock materials. Although widely used, applications of FFF printed materials are limited by modest strength and toughness and large variability in material properties. This award supports fundamental research to understand how the printing conditions affect the materials properties of polymers printed by FFF. This fundamental knowledge is needed to advance the application of FFF to structure-critical components, provide computational tools to accelerate the design of FFF printed parts, and develop the next generation 3D-printing technology for polymers. Thus, the outcomes of this project will benefit the US economy. This project will also provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in multidisciplinary research that involves close interactions with national laboratories and product design researchers, and create innovative outreach actives for K-12 on the science and engineering of 3D-printing.
The research objective of this project is to uncover the relationships between important printing parameters and feedstock material properties and the anisotropy, strength, and toughness of the printed material. We will develop an integrative research approach with iterative feedback between printing, modeling, and experiments at multiple length scales to investigate: 1) the molecular orientation of the extruded fiber, 2) the nonequilibrium structure and anisotropic, viscoplastic behavior of the annealed fiber, 3) the entanglement structure, strength and toughness of the fiber-fiber weld, 4) the anisotropic viscoplastic and damage behavior of the raster structure, and 5) the thermal history and residual stresses in the printed part. Finally, we will apply the experimentally-validated multi-scale modeling framework to design the properties of feedstock material and printing parameters to improve the strength and toughness of the printed part.
